Has anyone tried a Cefaly for migraine pain?

I have had migraines for decades. I know how bad they can be.
A new neurologist NP recommended Botox and said I was eligible bc of the chronic persistent occipital area pain I experience in the back of my head as well as the forehead and temples.
The 31 injections are all around the head neck shoulder areas.
I just started the Botox so 🤞🏻but maybe you would be a candidate too. Not sure if insurance covers the full cost. I’m on Medicare.

Botox did not work for me. Hope it does for yo u

I tried Cefaly and hoped it would help since my chronic migraines are located across my forehead. I ordered directly from the company, and they have a refund policy if it doesn’t help. After 17 treatments I got no relief, so returned it and got my money back.

Tagging a few members who may have experience or knowledge of this transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device for the prevention of migraine, known as Cefaly: @susanfalcon52 @importantcargo @suey @taterjoy @dberktold.

@mikaylar - you've now tried this device, correct? How did it go?

I found it helpful. The ‘cold cap’ that you keep in the freezer also helped.

Yes, Lisa I tried the Cefaly with no results. Sent it back after 2 weeks.

I have had chronic migraines for 50 years (gosh, I'm old) and have tried many treatments and have used Botox every 3 months ~20 years). When the Cefaly device first came out, my neurologist recommended I try it. For me, it did not provide relief and was quite uncomfortable to use at times. I discontinued using it after about 4-5 months. A coworker was recommended by her neurologist to try the Cefaly device, so I loaned it to her. She used it for a few years with some relief until she was started on Botox, which has been more effective for her.
