Evidence-based outcomes with CEFALY
While many people think of migraine as synonymous with bad headaches, it’s more complex than that. Migraine is a recurring neurological disorder whose symptoms typically include intense headache pain along with other disabling symptoms, such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks that can last from 4 to 72 hours. The severity and frequency of migraine attacks vary. Some employees may experience symptoms just once or twice per month, while others contend with frequent and debilitating migraine pain. Migraine is not a curable condition. Rather, patients must treat it with an individualized management plan for prevention and symptom relief.
Yes. Migraine is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting one in seven people and one in five women. People with migraine face stubborn stigmas about their disorder, and often it’s easier for employees to hide their symptoms than to ask for accommodations.
Because the potential benefits are huge in terms of cost savings, employee wellbeing, employee productivity, and employee morale.
- Cost savings: Migraine can be prohibitively expensive to treat. The newer (and most effective) prescription medications often aren’t covered by health insurance plans, and can cost $1,000 or more out of pocket. CEFALY is an accessible and effective treatment option with a low cost per use.
- Employee wellbeing: Migraine is a leading cause of disability in the workplace. CEFALY@Work can reduce worker absences and doctor visits by empowering employees to prevent and treat migraine with a drug-free, over-the-counter, take-anywhere medical device.
- Employee productivity: Working through the head pain, light sensitivity, nausea, and brain fog of a migraine attack is a miserable experience, but many employees try to do it anyway. As a result, productivity plunges. CEFALY can help employees manage symptoms and feel better without the serious side effects of migraine medication.
- Employee morale: People living with migraine are accustomed to their pain being dismissed. In a survey of almost 200,000 U.S. workers, only 22% of employers thought migraine was a serious enough condition to justify an absence from work. CEFALY@Work shows your staff that your organization takes migraine seriously and is committed to helping them manage this disorder.
CEFALY Technology’s FDA-cleared wearable neuromodulation device is clinically proven to prevent and relieve migraine symptoms. Used by more than 200,000 patients and trusted by U.S. VA hospitals, CEFALY is based on more than 20 years of research.
