Transformed migraine treatment
The frequency and duration of attacks increase to the point that the pain can develop on a daily basis. Cefaly can in this case be used whenever it is required.
Menstrual or catamenial migraine treatment
Use programme 1 (attack treatment) on a daily basis 3 to 4 days before the start of a menstrual period.
Anterior tension headache treatment
More than half of patients who regularly suffer from tension headaches can gain relief by using only programme 1 when an attack strikes.
Post-trauma headache treatment
If you are still developing recurrent headaches some time after the initial trauma (more than 3 months), these are most commonly found to be anterior tension headaches.
Chronic headache treatment
When a headache is very frequent and caused mainly by the misuse of medications, this is known as a chronic headache.
Cefaly is particularly useful in such cases, and can be used whenever it is required.
Morning-after headache treatment
Use Cefaly’s programme 1 twice in succession. At the end of the twenty-minute session, the intensity reduces gradually over the course of 30 seconds.
Vascular or cluster headache treatment
The duration of an attack varies from one individual to another, and can last anything from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Use programme 1 during a painful attack for as long as is required.
Frontal sinusitis treatment
Cefaly can be used to treat the symptoms of pain, but local ENT treatments remain essential. Use programme 1 as required: generally once to twice a day whenever the need arises.
Trigeminal neuralgia treatment
Cefaly can be used to treat the essential and symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia.
Ophthalmic shingles treatment
Use programme 1 as required. 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.
Anxiety and stress treatment
Use programme 3 on the spot or on a regular basis. On-the-spot use involves carrying out one or two sessions in succession, whenever you feel the need to relax or to treat a bout of stress.
