There’s a brand new device on the market that staves off migraine headaches.


People who suffer from migraine headaches would do just about anything to make them go away – even if it looks a little odd. 

There’s a brand new product just approved for sale by the FDA that may provide significant relief from migraine headaches. It’s called Cefaly (SEH-fa-lee), and it’s a lightweight, plastic headband, worn like sunglasses – but on the forehead. It looks a bit like Wonder Woman’s tiara and may just be the superpower needed to battle migraines. Cefaly administers an electric current to the skin and underlying tissues which feels like a tingling or massaging sensation. 

In a trial of the device, those who used it for 20 minutes a day experienced significantly fewer days with migraines per month and used less migraine medication. Cefaly costs $295 and will likely be covered by insurance.
