Combining Guided Intervention of Education and Relaxation (GIER) with Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) in the Acute Treatment of Migraine
Pain Medicine
The results suggest that combining the GIER behavioral intervention with REN treatment can improve the therapeutic efficacy beyond that of REN alone, in terms of both pain level and improvement of disability.

Real-World Analysis of Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) for the Acute Treatment of Migraine Jessica Ailani1, Liron Rabany2*, Shira Tami
Frontiers in Pain Research
The current analysis of real-world clinical data indicates that REN provides an efficacious, stable, and safe treatment option for acute treatment of migraine in real-world settings, both as a standalone replacement of pharmaceuticals, as well as an adjunct to medications.

Safety and efficacy of remote electrical neuromodulation for the acute treatment of chronic migraine: an open-label study
Pain Reports
Remote electrical neuromodulation treatments results in the relief of migraine headaches and associated symptoms, thus offering a drug-free acute treatment option for people with chronic migraine.

Comparison of Remote Electrical Neuromodulation and Standard-Care Medications for Acute Treatment of Migraine in Adolescents: A Post Hoc Analysis
Pain Medicine
Our results suggest that REN may have higher efficacy than certain standard-care medications for the acute treatment of migraine in adolescents. A larger-scale, blinded comparative-effectiveness and tolerability study is needed.

Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) for the Acute Treatment of Menstrual Migraine: a Retrospective Survey Study of Effectiveness and Tolerability
Pain and Therapy
Nearly 75% reported that the treatment was at least moderately effective, 45% reported satisfaction, and 100% of the participants reported that the treatment is at least moderately tolerable. Thirteen percent reported mild short-term side effects. REN was thus reported as effective for menstrual migraine by most participants and was very well tolerated. Therefore, REN may provide a safe, non-pharmacological alternative for the acute treatment of menstrual migraine.

Real-world Experience with Remote Electrical Neuromodulation in the Acute Treatment of Migraine
Pain Medicine
Real-world data confirm that REN results in meaningful clinical benefits with minimal side effects. REN may provide an effective drug-free treatment option for achieving consistent relief from migraine symptoms and may reduce the use of acute medications.

Remote Electrical Neuromodulation for the Acute Treatment of Migraine in Patients with Chronic Migraine: An Open-Label Pilot Study
Frontiers in Neurology
REN used for a series of migraine attacks was effective and well tolerated across attacks. REN may offer a safe and effective non-pharmacological alternative for acute treatment in patients with chronic migraine.

Incorporating Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) Into Usual Care Reduces Acute Migraine Medication Use: An Open-Label Extension Study
Frontiers in Neurology
REN may reduce the use of acute migraine medications. Thus, incorporating REN into usual care may reduce the risk for medication overuse headache (MOH). Future studies should evaluate whether REN reduces the use of acute migraine medications in a population at risk for MOH.

Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) Relieves Acute Migraine: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial
Headache
REN provides superior clinically meaningful relief of migraine pain and MBS compared to placebo, offering a safe and effective non-pharmacological alternative for acute migraine treatment.
-
Nonpainful remote electrical stimulation alleviates episodic migraine pain
Neurology
Nonpainful remote skin stimulation can significantly reduce migraine pain, especially when applied early in an attack. This is presumably by activating descending inhibition pathways via the conditioned pain modulation effect. This treatment may be proposed as an attractive nonpharmacologic, easy to use, adverse event free, and inexpensive tool to reduce migraine pain.
