Hi Speedbuggy. Thanks for letting us know. However, I can't understand why the NHS is funding it for cluster headaches and not for prevention of migraines. This device is supposed to be for both. That doesn't seem fair!

I agree Chleo11, Maybe they will let migraine sufferers use this too, I do hope so...

I have had this for the last two years on NHS

babs1234 : I'm guessing you were on a clinical trial. Can I ask you if you were given this for migraine or cluster headache? Does / did it help?

[babs1234 in reply to troy04]

My headache specialist prescribed it. Not a clinical trial. I was diagnosed with Hemicrania Continua and had tried many preventatives and abortives before I fit the criteria. I wouldn’t say it is a miracle cure but I will say the headaches are less frequent and less severe. I went from approx 25 days a month to now approx 12/15 days. Pain approx 60% lessSo definitely worth using

That's great news babs1234. I do believe some people could get it in the past but now everyone should be able to get it without going through lots of hoops...

Exactly. It was a lot of hoops.
