there is a device available on the market sending out electric pluses to the area one is pointing it (neck or head) in order to stimulate/block certain nerves involved in migraine & ch. German based forums where I've seen people speaking positive about this unit... well, I was not attracted by the device as it claims to help 4 migraine and ch in a extremely unpleasant way. I did not analyze the unit by myself but I'm aware it is a terrible rip-off. The producer makes a funny-ugly statement about what and how the unit works. Most irritating: after just a couple of hundert shoots one has to reload/buy a new one. What is it really? Basically a battery a kind off mini counter, counting the shoots user applies, sending every time upon users click a small amount of electricity to your scalp/neck/head. To me one of the most brutal/cruel ripp off ever seen. Working? Yes and no. I could use it in certain stages during my attacks as my cluster does hit me in 2 phases. Phase 1, pain sneaking slowly but steady from right side of the neck just beside the throat trying to hit the temple at the right side of the head. Phase 2, once pain hit the temple I know I've lost the game and the beast will hit the fan badly starting eating my right eye, feeling the glowing steel from behind... However I can, when in pf phase suddenly receiving an attack (they are normaly far less painful, sometimes even easy to handle) stop them in phase 1 by pressing gently nerves/chanels at the right side of the throat and aprox. 2 cm above. Breathing technic at this moment too can make big difference on top. So yes, I can imagine such technics could help a few. But have a look into the way the beast is kicking me in my ass which may differ from yours... But NO. Being in a real cluster-phase, ch is coming so fast, so fast phase 1 even would be noticeable and fiddling with my finger at my throat will not make any difference. And again I won't support companies ripping off people suffering, even stating they would have some magic in their expensive ¨bullsh.." device. And of course there a tons of Trolls in the german ch forums having seen this unit. They shall go to hell too... my 2 cents on nerve blocking/stimulating DEVICES, *** and finally I may have got it: GammaCore Device just found on this portal in one of chf's thread the name of the device and reporting success as abortive even may work as preventive device. Origin Europe, must be available in USA by now. Yes, this seems becoming quite normal to me in these days: I know I'm right but wrong for sure. In the first approach I always guess I'm right in order to realize thereafter that I'm not right but wrong. So I remember it, correct my head and going on. In this case still being very unsure but understanding I would need to go deeper into the subject (uh, reloading CammaCore Devices) But yes, wondering why this unit/device does not have any space on this portal? Not being available in USA maybe?

I really don't find these reports glowingly positive. They are more like show and tell stories - individual case reports. Even if they work for a headache it is a pretty invasive way that has a limit on how much steroid you want to put in a single area. Our local pain folks are soaking the area with local anesthetics but the cost is so high it becomes impractical with mediocre results. Like you related there can be some irreversible consequences. The implantable nerve simulator also is intriguing but again it is largely aborting attacks but at least it is readily available (being an implant - not treatment option yet) and can be turned on and off repeatedly without causing tissue damage.
