Cefaly – a Novel Design Electrotherapy Device For Prevention and Treatment of Headache

About Cefaly Treatment

Cefaly is the first cranial analgesic electrotherapy device to have advanced Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation treatment and an ISO medical certification. cefaly can also help people experiencing painful discomfort of trigeminal neuralgia and frontal sinusitis.
Headache are not specific to a particular age group but a more generalized problem. Cefaly is known to acts on the physiological mechanisms that are not age reliant. Therefore, Cefaly aids in alleviating symptoms and preventing them regardless of your age. Moreover, Cefaly is suitable for children also from age 8 and above, provided it is used under adult supervision.

Cefaly employs sophisticated state of art technology using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation therapy in a patented device that is lightweight, easy to use and effective.

Cefaly creates gentle electric impulses that act on the nerve cells. It works on nerves responsible for the pain and various other sensations in the area that is most associated with migraine and headache.

Cefaly is beneficial, when the pain is located in the front half or the skull. Through its skin electrode, Cefaly transmits detailed electrical impulses intended to manipulate the trigeminal nerve utilizing Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation to prevent pain signals from being realized in the brain and thus hampering the stimulation of endogenous endorphin production.

Worn like a pair of spectacles, Cefaly is designed to prevent and treat chronic and recurrent headache and substantially reduce or prevent stress and stress related anxiety. During the 20 minute Cefaly treatment session, a pleasant tingling sensation is felt. The intensity of the sensation can be adjusted to personal preferences. The treatment can be repeated immediately, if required. However, there are no known benefits when the pain is located at the back of the skull or in the lower part of the face below the eyes.

Cefaly should not be used:

• After a recent brain or facial trauma
• If suffering from Meniere's disease
• If having broken or damaged skin on the forehead, in the area of electrode application
• While driving or operating heavy industrial machinery

Why Cefaly?

Cefaly utilizes Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation therapy and is well recognized for its efficacy, safety and absence of side effects. It is not only harmless but very safe to use. Its safety standards have been demonstrated in tests as well as in clinical studies. No adverse side effects were evident during clinical trials.

Cefaly generates very precise electrical impulses which stimulate the nerve fibres selectively. As the impulses are generated very gradually, they are barely visible at the start of the treatment session. Because of advanced technology, Cefaly enables the electronic feedback mechanism to adjust the electrical impulses to specific requirements tailored for efficacy and comfort.

Cefaly user statistics reveal that:

• 95% of users find Cefaly very simple to use
• 87% of users describe a definite improvement
• 79% of users saw a drastic reduction in their consumption of drugs
• 2 out of 3 tension headache are relieved with the use of Cefaly
• 65% reduction in headache with only 20 minutes of Cefaly use
• 66% reduction in severe pain after only 20 – 40 minutes of Cefaly use
• 59% reduction in recurrence and duration of painful headache
• 1 in 4 migraine attacks are controlled by Cefaly use
