Nerivio® (by Theranica Bio-Electronics Ltd, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a wireless, wearable, noninvasive, battery-operated, remote electrical neuromodulation device controlled by a smartphone application. It is US FDA authorized for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in people 12 years and older in the US, and European Conformity (CE) marked for the same indication in the EU. The American Headache Society Consensus Statement recommends Nerivio as a tier 2 treatment for migraines. This review summarizes a series of five independent clinical trials and two real-world evidence studies that established safety, tolerability and efficacy of Nerivio in treating migraine attacks. It further provides up-to-date practical information on device usability. Based on findings of this review, Nerivio offers a safe and effective nonpharmacological alternative for acute treatment in patients with chronic (and nonchronic) migraine.
