Non-invasive Neural Stimulation with Cefaly in Headache Management

Abstract

Objective of the Review: To discuss headache (HA) therapy using neural stimulation; to compare the efficiency and usability of the modern methods of peripheral neural stimulation in management of migraine and cluster HA. Key Points. The article describes up-to-date non-invasive peripheral neural stimulation in HA. We presented results of international clinical trials to compare neural stimulation in various treatment regimens and placebo at migraine and cluster HA. The rate of side effects in each method of exposure are described. Conclusion. Cefaly is a leader among peripheral neural stimulation methods available in the Russian Federation: its efficiency has been studied and verified in multicentre studies; the safety and compliance profile is one of the highest. Keywords: neural stimulation, neural modulation, migraine with aura, migraine without aura, episodic migraine, chronic migraine, cluster headache.
