Menstrual or catamenial migraine treatment
Migraines that only occur at the start of a period. The hormonal factor is the key element here.
The use of the oral contraceptive pill can also sometimes trigger or aggravate a migraine.
Cefaly is helpful in providing relief, particularly when it is used a few days before the period starts. It thus allows the consumption of pain-killing medication to be reduced.
Nevertheless, Cefaly has no impact on the causative hormonal trigger, which must be rebalanced for the pain to go away completely.
Use programme 1 (attack treatment) on a daily basis 3 to 4 days before the start of a menstrual period.
During the painful period itself, carry out two sessions in succession using programme 1 each day.
At the end of the twenty-minute session, the intensity reduces gradually over the course of 30 seconds.
During this stage, a simple press on the button will immediately start a new twenty-minute session.
