Nerivio has been available by prescription in the United States since 2020, initially for acute treatment and since April of this year also as a preventive treatment.

"It is important to broaden the therapeutic options with a non-drug treatment, especially one that can treat and prevent migraine."

"We have been awaiting approval of the prevention indication, and with that we are preparing to make Nerivio available to people with migraine in Europe from 2024. Our goal is to empower underserved populations, particularly adolescents, to prevent and treat migraines safely and effectively, and be fully present in everyday life.
