CEFALY is the first FDA Cleared device of its kind for the treatment of migraine headaches. It is a comfortable, drug-free, approach to help relieve pain and decrease the number of migraine days. In technical terms, it is an external trigeminal nerve stimulator, which is a non-invasive device placed on the head to stimulate and desensitize the Trigeminal nerve.

How does CEFALY work?

Research identifies the Trigeminal nerve as a center for migraine pain and can be accessed under the skin of your forehead. The CEFALY device has been specifically designed to make contact with the nerve endings of this branch via an electrode positioned on the forehead between the eyebrows. Once an electrode has been placed, the device magnetically secures a connection and begins to send tiny electrical impulses through the top branch into the Trigeminal nerve.

How long does a session last?

A session with the ACUTE setting lasts one hour and is used during a migraine attack. The session can be repeated for another 60-minute session if necessary or if another migraine attack occurs. A session with the PREVENT setting lasts 20 minutes. It must be used daily and may be done at any time throughout the day, though an evening session is preferred.

The CEFALY device should not hurt and is safe. However, the sensations experienced while using the CEFALY device are novel to most people and can take some adjustment. To make treatment more enjoyable, we recommend you increase intensity in small increments of time, over the course of a few weeks. If you feel the intensity is too strong for you, simply press the button to stabilize the session.

Can I adjust the intensity?

If 10 seconds after you’ve selected your session, you wish to increase the intensity, you can press and hold the button to quickly ramp up the intensity to your desired strength. When you release the button, the intensity will stabilize and remain constant. Should you press and hold the button again, the intensity will increase again. The maximum intensity is reached after pressing and holding the button for 30 consecutive seconds.

What are the benefits of CEFALY Connected?

CEFALY stimulates and desensitizes the trigeminal nerve, the primary pathway for migraine pain, for drug-free migraine relief and long-term prevention.

Use the ACUTE mode at the first sign of a migraine attack to relieve migraine pain by directly targeting the trigeminal nerve. In one clinical study, 79% of users saw pain relief following one hour of ACUTE treatment with CEFALY, and 32% experienced pain freedom.

Use the 20-minute PREVENT mode daily to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine symptoms over time. In a clinical study, 38.1% of CEFALY users saw at least a 50% reduction in migraine days with daily PREVENT treatment.

Use CEFALY Connected with the CeCe app to monitor and log your treatment sessions. Track treatment effectiveness, keep a migraine diary, and flag migraine triggers, then download a report to see your unique migraine patterns and trends.

CEFALY Connected has an extended 7-hour battery life for up to 7 ACUTE or 21 PREVENT treatments per charge. The indicator lights are softer, with an intermittent glow.

How to use your CEFALY device

Step 1 illustration - woman cleaning her forehead

1 Cleanse your skin

It's important to cleanse your skin before every CEFALY treatment session. This will help ensure the electrode attaches securely to your forehead.

Use soap and water to wash between and above your eyebrows. Then, dry your skin thoroughly.
The use of makeup-removing products is NOT recommended as a substitute for soap and water.

Step 2 illustration - opening the electrode pack

2 Open the electrode

Open the electrode packet and slide out the plastic sleeve, then peel off the electrode.

To extend the life of the electrode, only handle it by the edges and with clean hands.

3 Position the electrode

Using a mirror, place the electrode so the curved area is between your eyebrows and the wings are just above your eyebrows. Firmly run your fingers over the electrode a few times until it lies flat against your skin.

4 Connect your device & begin treatment

Hold your device so the magnets on the back are exposed and bring it toward your forehead until the device connects with the electrode. Then, you’re ready to select either the ACUTE or PREVENT treatment mode.

Important things to know

CEFALY works by gradually desensitizing the trigeminal nerve. You should use CEFALY’s PREVENT treatment every day, as directed, and allow two to three months to see a reduction in migraine frequency and severity. If you’re not satisfied, you can return the device for a refund within 90 days.

When you’re new to CEFALY, don’t try to use the device at full intensity right away. At any time during the first 14 minutes of a session, press the button to stabilize the intensity when you feel a strong vibration or stimulation sensation that is not painful.
Try gradually increasing the intensity over time until you find your sweet spot: the level that’s comfortable and most effective for you. You don’t need to reach full intensity to benefit from treatment with CEFALY.

For optimal results, pause your usual activities during CEFALY treatments. We recommend using CEFALY while sitting or reclining, with the head tilted back.

Your CEFALY purchase includes gel electrodes that can be reused several times. When the electrodes dry out or become dirty, they must be replaced.

Your purchase includes a free, one-on-one session with a CEFALY Coach. Get personalized assistance using your CEFALY so you can achieve the best results.
