Evaluation of a Novel Device for Treatment of Migraine Headache

"The device is placed on the subject upper arm. when activated, stimulus is applied to influence the subject's perception of a painful stimulus, delivered (or originating) at a different location. Based on diffused noxious inhibitory control mechanism, sometimes referred to as pain inhibits pain principle, conditioned pain modulation evokes an endogenous analgesic mechanism. The modulatory effect is over the whole body, and can be induced anywhere in the body. This approach allows applying the conditioning stimuli away from the painful site."

The device is placed on the subject upper arm. when activated, the stimulus is applied is not sufficient to influence the subject's perception of a painful stimulus.
