Why is it important to use the PREVENT mode every day?
CEFALY’s PREVENT treatment mode slowly desensitizes your trigeminal nerve over time. Just as it takes more than two or three workouts to build muscles, it takes more than just a few PREVENT treatments to change the behavior of the trigeminal nerve.
For the best results, you should do a 20-minute PREVENT treatment every day. Some people see a difference (less frequent migraine attacks/fewer headache days) within 6-8 weeks. Three months is the recommended length of time to achieve results.
Why does hydration help prevent migraine?
Yes, it’s annoying when people tell you “drink more water!” However, current medical guidance says that dehydration can be a migraine trigger and drinking fluids can help you recover from a migraine attack. It’s especially important to stay hydrated in the winter, when you may not feel thirst as acutely as you do during the summer.
Does meditation really benefit migraine?
It can! According to one research summary, “multiple studies suggest that meditation has a generally global positive effect on emotional and physical health. Specifically meditation has proven effective in reducing physiological and psychological arousal to stress and pain.” For people with migraine, a meditation practice may reduce stress (a common migraine trigger), increase pain tolerance, and help calm anxiety and fear. Learn more in this beginner’s guide to migraine meditation from the National Headache Foundation.
What are some migraine-friendly ways to exercise?
Exercise has been shown to be beneficial for people with migraine, but you have to find the approach that works best for you. Start slow, with low-impact movement that feels good. Stretching, gentle yoga, walking and swimming are all possible activities to try.
