Scientific studies

 

Several clinical studies in pain clinics at university hospitals and in specialist laboratories have been carried out specifically using Cefaly over its 5 years of development.

• 12 laboratory studies to determine the choice of the most effective and precise parameters
• 8 case report studies to confirm the effectiveness on patients regarded as ‘difficult cases’
• 3 pilot studies on series of patients suffering from tension headaches or migraines
• 2 blind studies to confirm the extent of the effectiveness

In total, more than 5,000 treatments were included in the studies to validate Cefaly’s clinical effectiveness.
