Nerivio REN is a safe, discreet wearable that can be worn without disrupting daily activities and it delivers migraine care by activating natural pain pathways to inhibit migraines and their associated symptoms.
The Annals of the Child Neurology Society recently published results from a prospective real-world evidence study evaluating the safety and efficacy of remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) as a treatment for migraine in children ages six to 11. The Nerivio REN wearable is the first FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment for both acute migraine attacks and prevention of migraine with or without aura in adolescents and adults ages 12 and older. Now, the treatment is currently under FDA review to potentially expand the indication to ages younger than 12.
