It’s estimated that about one-third of returning soldiers experience migraine pain in the first months after coming home, and yet studies repeatedly show the condition is frequently underdiagnosed. CEFALY Technology is honored to partner with VA Hospitals across the country to offer United States Veterans easy access to drug-free, non-invasive migraine treatment.

CEFALY is a breakthrough migraine treatment that can help improve your quality of life and free you from migraine pain. This simple-to-use medical device works to treat acute migraine attacks quickly, prevent future episodes, and may cut your number of migraine days by almost half.

CEFALY is fully covered under VA benefits.

Over 2.7 million Veteran Migraines treated with CEFALY in the last year.

Following one hour of treatment with CEFALY, 63% of patients saw their migraine pain significantly reduced by more than 50%.¹

Real Veterans, Real Results

"My neurologist at the VA prescribed it to me. I like it. It takes my mind off the pain for a little bit of time. It also calms my pain down for a period of time when I use it and for a while after the session is done. I like that it’s not a medication and that I’m not taking any medicines right now." ~ James Middle River, MD Navy Veteran

"It doesn’t cure me but it gives me relief. I use it for 20-minutes each night before bed and I’ve actually been able to sleep through the night now for the first time in 3-years! Migraines are so horrible. When you hear of something that can bring you relief and you try it and it works for you, you want to tell people." ~ LoriLee Lakewood, WA Army Veteran

"My VA neurologist recommended it to me. I’ve tried many different medications but those led to even more medications for other side effects. Being a veteran, oftentimes I’d just tough it out and wait for the migraine to go away but then it would be too late. Oftentimes in the morning I put it on and listen to a 20-minute meditation. The Cefaly is really subtle and easy to use." ~ Simone Richmond, CA Coast Guard Veteran
