The device can be worn on the upper arm. It is to be used within 60 minutes of onset of
for acute treatment of migraine or every alternate day for prevention of migraine.The device uses the Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) mechanism to specifically activate conditioned pain modulation by stimulating nerve endings. This initiates a natural pain-relieving process in the brainstem, causing a global effect of pain inhibition that affects the original source of migraine pain in the head.
“Nerivio is USFDA-approved, drug-free, noninvasive, first-of-its-kind product for migraine in India and offers a favorable safety profile. We believe this product meets a genuine unmet clinical need among migraine patients,” said M. V. Ramana, Chief Executive Officer, Branded Markets (India and Emerging Markets), Dr. Reddy’s, in a statement.”The roll-out of Nerivio marks our entry into digital therapeutics.
It is an area that is seeing increasing adoption by physicians as well as patients due to its potential to reduce pill burden and decrease dependency on non-specific medication in chronic or hard-to-treat diseases,” he added.Nerivio is clinically proven and safe, and is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those who prefer drug-free options, individuals with contraindications to medications or poor medication tolerance, sensitive populations such as adolescents, women of vulnerable age groups and patients at risk of medication overuse headache.
