Study Summary

This trial is studying a device that sends electrical stimulation to the upper arm to try to relieve headaches in adolescents with new daily persistent headaches (NDPH).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents aged 12-17 with New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH) who haven't responded well to standard treatments. They must have had NDPH for at least six months, be on stable headache prevention medication for three months, and can operate a smartphone. It's not open to those with implanted devices like pacemakers, severe heart conditions, epilepsy, recent nerve blocks or Botox in the head/neck area, current participation in other trials, cognitive/motor issues affecting smartphone use, pregnancy/breastfeeding status or an arm circumference below 7.9 inches.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Nerivio device is being tested as a new treatment option for adolescent patients with NDPH. This non-drug therapy uses Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) delivered through the upper arm to help relieve headaches by activating natural pain suppression pathways in the brain.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While this study aims to confirm safety and effectiveness of Nerivio without unexpected adverse effects, potential side effects may include local discomfort where the device attaches or skin irritation from electrical stimulation.
