Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What is the US Migraine approach?

It's a gentle, drug-free way to ease chronic migraine. A small device delivers mild, soothing signals to the nerves linked to migraine pain, helping to calm those signals before they build into a full migraine. The settings can be adjusted to match your comfort and your needs.

Could it help me?

It may be a good fit if you've been living with frequent or severe migraines that haven't improved with medications, injections, or other treatments. During your free consultation, we'll look at your migraine history and answer your questions, so you can feel confident about whether this is the right next step.

What is the trial?

The trial is a simple first step that lets you experience how the approach feels and see how your migraines respond, before making any long-term decision. It's a low-pressure way to find out whether this could be the relief you've been looking for.

When will I start feeling relief?

For many people, relief begins soon after the device is turned on during the trial, with continued improvement over the next few days. Everyone is different, and those who feel relief during the trial often go on to experience meaningful, lasting improvement.

How long does relief last?

People who respond well often experience long-term relief. Because the device provides gentle, continuous support to the nerves linked to migraine, many continue to feel better for years, and your care team can make small adjustments over time.

What if the trial doesn't help?

That's okay, and it's exactly what the trial is for. If you don't feel meaningful relief, we'll talk through other options and next steps that may be a better fit for you. There's no obligation to continue.

Will my insurance cover it?

Coverage depends on your plan, and our team will guide you through the whole process and handle the paperwork. Most major medical plans cover the approach. We're currently unable to accept Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare, or Workers' Compensation. If your plan doesn't cover it, we'll review flexible payment options with you.

Do I need to travel or stay overnight?

Most people go home the same day, with no hospital stay. If you're coming from out of town, our team can help you plan your visit and suggest nearby places to stay, so everything feels easy and comfortable.

What makes US Migraine different?

Instead of just masking symptoms, our approach calms the nerves that trigger migraine at the source, and it's personalized to you. It starts with a simple trial, so you'll know if it's working before any long-term step, and you'll have a caring, experienced team beside you the whole way.
