Living with migraine is about more than enduring the symptoms. It makes engaging in daily activities challenging. For some, migraine frequency increases leading to chronic attacks.
Chronic Migraine:
For many people, migraine medications and treatments do not provide adequate relief of migraine frequency and/or severity.
If you are living with frequent migraine and have not received long-term relief from other treatments, you may qualify for the RELIEV-CM2 Clinical Study. The study is evaluating the ShiraTronics System, a small device placed under your skin that delivers mild electrical pulses to nerves associated with migraine pain. Participants in the RELIEV-CM2 Study will receive the ShiraTronics System and all study-related care at no cost.
The RELIEV-CM2 Study for Migraine
Doctors at select centers in the United States and Australia are conducting the RELIEV-CM2 Study. The study is evaluating the ShiraTronics System, a small device that is designed to deliver mild electrical pulses to target migraine signals.
What is neuromodulation?
Neuromodulation is a non-drug treatment for chronic pain that uses a small device implanted under your skin called a neurostimulator. The neurostimulator delivers mild electrical pulses to nerves associated with migraine pain around the back and front of your head. These electrical pulses interrupt or change the transmission of pain signals to the brain, which can potentially relieve your chronic migraine pain. Neuromodulation therapy has been used for decades to treat various chronic pain conditions.
How does it work?
You can 'test drive' neuromodulation therapy for about a week before deciding on a permanent system. Your doctor will place the temporary system by threading thin wires, called leads, along the nerve pathways involved with migraine symptoms. The leads connect to an external temporary device that delivers gentle pulses for the duration of the ‘test drive.’ After one week, the temporary system is removed. You and your doctor can discuss whether this therapy is right for you long-term. If you choose to have the permanent device placed under your skin, this will be done through a short, reversible procedure a few weeks later.
Why Participate?
If you are living with frequent migraine and have not received relief from other treatments, you may qualify for the RELIEV-CM2 Clinical Study. The study is evaluating the ShiraTronics System, a small device that works under your skin and is designed to target migraine signals.
