Default Has anyone had experience with the Cefaly Headband for PCS headaches?

This was just approved by FDA for headaches/ migraines? Anyone had experience using it? Thanks

I would expect the results from the Cefaly Headband to be dependent on
whether the head aches are impacted by the trigeminal nerve. The headband is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device that stimulates the trigeminal nerve.

How expensive is a Cefaly Headband ?

I found price info. It costs about $295 plus about $25.00 for a set of 3 disposable electrodes for 15 to 30 uses. The consumable costs could add up quickly.

I ordered mine Jan 29 and got it a week later from Belgium. I started using it today - can't tell the results yet. My credit card was charged $389 for the Cefaly, 4 electrodes, and shipping.
