Real-world data highlights potential of REN device for migraine care

What's new?

Remote electrical neuromodulation device is an effective, stable, and safe option for acute migraine relief, serving as both a standalone alternative to pharmaceuticals and an adjunct to medications.

A new analysis of data from over 12,000 migraine sufferers across the U.S. highlighted the effectiveness and safety of remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) as an acute treatment for migraine. The FDA-cleared device, Nerivio®, was used either alone or with medication, and demonstrated substantial real-world benefits.

The goal was to offer an extensive assessment of the efficiency, safety, drug-device interactions, and dose stability of REN wearable device across a large real-world dataset for migraine management.

This device featured a migraine diary for patients to record symptoms prior to and 2 hours after treatment. Real-world data from U.S. patients using the device (October 2019–May 2021) were analyzed to assess: (a) REN usage patterns as standalone or combination therapy, (b) individual efficiency across treatments, (c) treatment intensity distribution (electroceutical dose), and (d) adverse event prevalence and severity.

Findings:

  • Standalone Success: REN was used independently in 66.5% of treatments, while 33.5% combined it with over-the-counter or prescription medications.
  • Consistent Relief: Among 2,514 patients, 66.5% reported pain alleviation in at least half of their treatments, with 22.6% achieving complete pain freedom.
  • Optimal Intensity: Most users applied 18-55% of the stimulator's range, averaging 34.3%.
  • Minimal Side Effects: Only 0.48% showed device-related adverse events. But, none were severe in nature.

This analysis underscores REN's potential as a reliable standalone or adjunct therapy, revolutionizing migraine management without the need for pharmaceuticals.
