Intervention  Nerivio  The Nerivioâ„¢ device is a wireless wearable battery-operated stimulation unit controlled by a smartphone software application. Nerivio is intended for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 12 years of age or older. It is self applied to the upper arm. Treatments are self-administered by the user at the onset of a migraine attack. The device delivers extra-cephalic transcutaneous electrical stimulation below the pain threshold to the skin of the upper arm at the onset of a migraine attack.The device is comprised of 3 main components: 1) Armband with attached electrodes, 2) Electronics case and 3) Software including Firmware and Mobile Application software to be run on a mobile platform.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Reduction of migraine pain at 2 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting reduction in their pain level 2 hours post-treatment without rescue medications from severe or moderate to mild or no pain, or from mild to no pain, in their second treated migraine attack (excluding the first treatment). 
2 hours post treatment 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Freedom from most bothersome migraine-associated symptom (MBS) at 2 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting, 2 hours post-treatment, freedom from their MBS other than a headache, in their second treated migraine attack. MBS may be nausea, or vomiting or photophobia, or phonophobia or combination of them −as defined by each subject at the beginning of the treatment. 
2 hours post treatment  
Pain and MBS relief at 2 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting post-treatment response to both the primary and the first secondary endpoints at 2 hours post- treatment. 
2 hours post treatment 
Pain-free at 2 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting freedom from migraine pain at 2 hours post-treatment without rescue medications in their second
treated migraine attack. Pain-free is defined as improvement from mild, moderate, or severe pain to none. 
2 hours post-treatment  
Rescue medications use within 2 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting use of rescue/acute medication within 2 hours post-treatment in their second treated migraine attack. 
2 hours post-treatment  
Sustained MBS freedom at 24 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting post-treatment response to the first secondary endpoints at 24 hours. 
24 hours post treatment  
Sustained pain and MBS Relief at 24 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting post-treatment response to both the primary and the first secondary endpoints at 24 hours. 
24 hours post treatment  
Sustained pain-free at 24 hours with a single use of the device: Proportion (%) of subjects reporting pain-free at 2 hours, and no return of any pain or use of rescue/acute medication, or reuse of device between 2 hours and 24 hours, in their second treated migraine attack.  2-24 hours post treatment  
Rescue medications use between 2-24 hours:
Proportion (%) of subjects reporting use of rescue/acute medication between 2- and 24-hours post-treatment in their second treated migraine attack. 
2-24 hours post treatment  
Within-subject consistency of the primary endpoint in subsequent treatments:
The repeatability of migraine headache reduction, as described in the primary endpoint definition, in subsequently treated attacks.
Thus, this endpoint measures the % of subjects responding to the
primary endpoint in at least 50% of their treated attacks.

Brief Summary  

Nerivioâ„¢, a neurostimulation device, is intended for the acute and prophylactic treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 12 years or older.

The device delivers transcutaneous electrical stimulation below the pain threshold to the patient’s upper arm. The level of generated stimuli is similar to other FDA-approved electro-stimulation devices. The treatment is self-administered and controlled by a dedicated smartphone application. It is believed to alleviate pain through conditioned pain modulation.

This is a prospective, single arm, multicentric, open label trial in which At least 200 subjects will be enrolled as per the inclusion criteria, and Objectives of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Nerivioâ„¢ device for the acute treatment of episodic and chronic Migraine.

This study will be conducted in two stages: 

Stage One – Enrollment and Training:

The first visit will include screening, enrollment and training on the device. The enrollment and device training may occur in two separate visits instead of one.

Subjects with a history of episodic or chronic migraine (as per inclusion criteria) (1) with or without aura, with no complication (i.e., Status migrainosus, Persistent aura without infarction, Migrainous infarction, Migraine aura-triggered seizure), who met the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3 Section 1, Diagnostic Criteria for Migraine) (2) will be included.


First visit:

The first visit will include screening, enrollment and training on the application. Eligible participants will be trained to use the Nerivioâ„¢ device, associated smartphone app and migraine diary. Subjects will be asked to complete the diary at the enrollment visit by recalling events of

their migraine attacks for the last one month. They will be trained to capture data on the trial diary. (3) Device instructions for use will be available in a separate document which will be provided to the participants with the Nerivioâ„¢ device.


Stage Two - Single-arm, open-label treatment stage:

Following successful completion of training, subjects will be asked to apply the device and administer treatment for every migraine attack they experience. At the onset of their migraine attack, subjects will report the results of every treatment using the migraine diary.

Final visit: End of study:

Participants will return the device to the clinic following the end of the study.

Duration for each subject will be approximately one- month of treatment or up to four qualified migraine attacks (whichever is achieved first).
