Cefaly (external trigeminal nerve stimulation)

External Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation is delivered by the Cefaly device which is designed to prevent and treat migraine.

What is external trigeminal nerve stimulation?

Most headaches and migraine involve the trigeminal nerve. The trigeminal nerve is a nerve in the head, part of which runs around above your eye. This is the part of the trigeminal nerve that is stimulated by the Cefaly device.

An adhesive electrode is positioned on the forehead and Cefaly connects to this. Through the electrode, Cefaly generates precise micro-impulses in order to stimulate the nerve endings of the trigeminal nerve.

Neurostimulation of the trigeminal nerve with Cefaly aims to produce a sedative or calming effect. Regular repetition of this effect is thought to reduce the number of attacks of migraine.
