Summary

This online registry is studying the safety and effectiveness of the CEFALY device, a non-invasive nerve stimulator worn on the forehead, for treating migraines during and after pregnancy. Pregnant women aged 18-44 with migraines can join, regardless of whether they use the device or other treatments. Participants complete up to six online surveys over 12 months, with no clinic visits required.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
external trigeminal nerve stimulation (CEFALY device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could provide evidence that CEFALY is a safe, drug-free option for managing migraines during pregnancy.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be limited by self-reporting and participant drop-out.
