RCT of Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (nVNS) With gammaCore®, for the Acute Treatment of Migraine Attacks

At onset of migraine pain, the subject self-administers a bilateral treatment with the gammaCore nVNS device (2 minutes on the right side, and 2 minutes on the left side). If their headache pain has not improved after 15 minutes, they administer another bilateral treatment. If they are not pain-free at 2 hours, they have the option to administer a third bilateral treatment, or take their usual rescue medication.
