Summary
This trial tests the Nocira AVPI Device, a gadget for quick migraine relief, on people who suffer from migraines. The device aims to reduce or stop migraine pain through a specific type of treatment.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with a history of migraines, experiencing 2-10 attacks per month. Participants must not be in other trials, should have stable migraine medication for 3 months if applicable, and need internet access via mobile device. Excluded are pregnant individuals, those unable to distinguish migraine types or follow instructions, with certain ear conditions or significant medical issues that could affect the study.
What is being tested?
The AVPI Device is being tested for its effectiveness in treating acute migraines. The trial has two phases: an initial screening (Phase I) where the device's operation is checked under supervision and a home-use evaluation (Phase II). It's a double-blind study meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real treatment versus a sham (fake) one.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, potential risks may include discomfort from wearing the device or reactions related to incorrect use. As it's non-invasive and doesn't involve drugs, traditional medication side effects are unlikely.

Other Research
Common migraine treatments work through various mechanisms to alleviate symptoms. Pharmacological treatments like triptans activate serotonin receptors to reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels, directly addressing the migraine's pathophysiology.
Non-pharmacological treatments, such as the Nocira AVPI Device, use neuromodulation to alter pain pathways by stimulating nerves, which can reduce pain perception. Understanding these mechanisms helps patients and healthcare providers select the most effective treatment based on individual migraine triggers and symptoms, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.
