gammaCore (nVNS) is the first non-invasive, hand-held medical therapy applied at the neck to treat migraine and cluster headache
through the utilization of a mild electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve that passes through the skin.
Designed as a portable, easy-to-use technology, gammaCore is self-administered by patients, as needed, without the potential side effects
associated with commonly prescribed drugs. When placed on a patient's neck over the vagus nerve, gammaCore stimulates the nerve's
afferent fibers, which may lead to a reduction of pain in patients.
gammaCore (nVNS) is FDA cleared in the
United States for adjunctive use for the preventive treatment of cluster headache in adult patients, the acute treatment of pain
associated with episodic cluster headache in adult patients, and the acute and preventive treatment of migraine in adolescent (ages 12
and older) and adult patients, and paroxysmal hemicrania and hemicrania continua in adult patients. gammaCore is CE-marked in the European
Union for the acute and/or prophylactic treatment of primary headache (Migraine, Cluster Headache, Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias
and Hemicrania Continua) and Medication Overuse Headache in adults.
