Thanks for the link; this is the first I've heard of this device. First off, I'm wondering why someone couldn't use a regular TENS device in a similar way. (It wouldn't surprise me if this is how the idea for it came about).

Don't know if the above is a typo, but the artical says

Cefaly is indicated for patients 18 years of age and older
As a prescription device, I would think it would only be intended (legal) for the person it was prescribed for. Depending on how it works, settings might be different for different individuals. OTOH, goggle shows it's already being sold on Amazon, and at Costco in Canada.
