What We Do

Migraine affects more than 1 billion people worldwide. For many people, treatment options have long meant medications that come with side effects, risks, and uncertainty.

In 2004, CEFALY was founded with a clear mission: to give people with migraine a safe, drug-free option for relief and prevention.

More than two decades of clinical research, engineering innovation, and patient feedback have helped make CEFALY a leading neuromodulation device for migraine. Our work continues to focus on expanding what’s possible through science and technology.
