NCT ID NCT05443659

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at how well a device called Nerivio works for treating migraines in teenagers aged 12 to 18. The device is worn on the upper arm and uses mild electrical pulses to trigger the body's natural pain relief system. Researchers analyzed data from over 1,600 teens who used the device at home, checking if pain eased within 2 hours without needing extra medication.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Nerivio device (remote electrical neuromodulation)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that a non-drug device worn on the arm safely eases migraine pain in teens, offering a drug-free option.

What could go wrong

This is a real-world analysis, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. The device may not work for all teens, and some may still need medication.
