Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Consistent Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-treatment
The proportion of subjects reporting pain relief at 2 hours post-treatment without the use of rescue medication in at least 50% of all their treatments. Pain relief is defined as an improvement from severe or moderate pain to mild or no pain, Pain level is reported using a 4-point Likert scale (0 - No pain, 1 - Mild pain, 2 - Moderate pain,3- Severe pain)
2 hours post treatment, up to 16 months from the 1st treatment
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Consistent Pain Freedom at 2 Hours Post-treatment
2 hours post treatment, up to 16 months from the 1st treatment
Consistent Usage of Migraine Abortive (Rescue) Medications
2 hours post treatment, up to 16 months from the 1st treatment
Consistent Functional Disability Relief at 2 Hours Post-treatment
2 hours post treatment, up to 16 months from the 1st treatment
Consistent Functional Disability Disappearance at 2 Hours Post-treatment
2 hours post treatment, up to 16 months from the 1st treatment
Other Outcomes (2)
Treatment Intensity Distribution
45 minutes post treatment, up to 16 months from the 1st treatment
Device Related Adverse Events
Up to 16 months
Interventions
Remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device for the acute treatment of migraines. The device delivers transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the upper arm to induce conditioned pain modulation(CPM) that activates a descending endogenous analgesic mechanism. The treatment is self-administered and controlled by a smartphone application.
Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:
- \- Age between 12-18 years
- \- REN user across the United States who created Nerivio account on January 1st, 2021 or later.
- \- Had at least two evaluable treatments with the Nerivio device
You may not qualify if:
- (1) - Treatments shorter than 20 minutes

Limitations and Caveats
1. \- this is not a controlled study. it has a single arm, of Nerivio users 2. \- Efficacy and medication data were voluntarily provided by patients through the app, which contributed to the fact that not all adolescent users provided the required information at the beginning of the treatment and following two hours.
