Break Free from Migraines with tVNS®

tVNS® offers a clinically validated, non-invasive solution for migraine sufferers by modulating pain pathways and balancing the nervous system. Unlike medications, which can cause side effects and dependency, tVNS® provides a natural, well-tolerated alternative that fits easily into daily life.

tVNS® is the only non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device approved under the EU-MDR for the treatment of migraines, helping patients regain control over their health with minimal side effects and no need for surgery.

tVNS® users experienced a >50% reduction of the frequency of days with migraine after a treatment period of 12 weeks.

What is Migraine?
Migraine is a complex neurological condition affecting millions worldwide, often characterized by recurring, intense headaches. These episodes can last from a few hours to several days and are frequently accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances known as auras. The unpredictable nature and severity of migraine attacks can significantly impact an individual’s daily life and overall well-being.
The Challenge of Migraine Medication

Migraine is typically managed with preventive and acute medications, such as triptans, beta-blockers, and anti-epileptic drugs, designed to reduce attack frequency or alleviate symptoms when they occur. However, not all patients respond adequately to medication, and many experience side effects, including dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. Additionally, overuse of acute migraine medication can lead to medication-overuse headaches, further complicating treatment.

The Need for New Treatment Options
Despite the availability of various medications, many migraine sufferers continue to experience frequent and debilitating attacks. Some individuals are unable to tolerate migraine medications due to side effects, while others may have contraindications that prevent them from using standard treatments. Non-pharmacological alternatives, such as neuromodulation, have emerged as promising options to help those who have not found relief with conventional therapies.
Introducing Non-Invasive tVNS®

Our tVNS® device represents a groundbreaking advancement in the treatment of migraine: a non-invasive form of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) that eliminates the need for surgery. By stimulating the vagus nerve through the skin at the cymba concha—an area of the ear with direct vagus nerve connections—tVNS® offers a safe and user-friendly alternative. This innovative approach harnesses the therapeutic potential of VNS while significantly reducing the risk of side effects and complications associated with traditional migraine medications.

With tVNS®, migraine sufferers have access to an innovative treatment option that is both effective and minimally intrusive, reflecting our commitment to improving the lives of those affected by this debilitating condition.

Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of migraine

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS®) is an innovative, drug-free approach to migraine management, offering an effective alternative to traditional treatments.

The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating brain activity and pain perception. tVNS® harnesses this potential by delivering targeted neurostimulation through the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, accessible within the ear.

This gentle stimulation helps modulate brain networks involved in pain regulation and inflammation, contributing to a reduction in both the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks—all without the need for invasive surgery or medication with unwanted side effects.

Approved as a Class IIa medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), tVNS® sets a new standard in migraine treatment, combining safety, efficacy, and ease of use.

A Simple, Effective, and Portable Therapy

The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating pain pathways and autonomic functions in the body. By delivering gentle electrical impulses to the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN) through the skin, tVNS® helps modulate neurological activity associated with migraine attacks. This targeted stimulation is designed to restore balance within the nervous system, potentially reducing the frequency and severity of migraines.

tVNS® is designed for everyday life—easy to use, portable, and discreet. Whether at home, at work, or on the go, patients can incorporate tVNS® seamlessly into their routine without disruption. Unlike many migraine treatments, which require strict timing or medication adherence, tVNS® offers a flexible and accessible way to manage migraines with minimal side effects.

Each session with tVNS® is a step toward neurological stability, harnessing the body’s natural mechanisms to promote relief and improve overall well-being. The user-friendly design ensures that starting and maintaining therapy is simple, empowering users to take control of their migraine management in a safe and non-invasive way.

Better days are ahead.

With its non-invasive approach, patient-friendly treatments, and minimal side effects, tVNS® offers a new horizon of hope and relief for those living with epilepsy. Embrace a future where each day holds the promise of greater comfort and enhanced quality of life.

Voices of Progress:
Real Stories from tVNS® Patients

"Since I started using tVNS®, my quality of life has increased. Privately and professionally I feel considerably better of now. I could fully enjoy my son’s wedding, for example, without suffering from painful migraine the next morning, This would never have been possible before tVNS®. With my device, I soon felt so secure that I could finally visit my son who works in China. We even travelled to Tibet together. I knew I had tVNS® with me, and that means I have my migraine under control."
