Cefaly works by introducing safe, and painless electric impulses to act on the very nerves that transmit migraine pain, a bifurcation of nerves known as the trigeminal nerve. Often referred to as “the great sensory nerve of the head and neck”, the trigeminal nerve is an Endorphin-producing mechanism that carries information about touch, temperature, perception and pain from the face and scalp to the brainstem.
The patented Cefaly design covers this bifurcation and therefore acts on the main part of the trigeminal nerve. Through an electrode covering the middle of the forehead, Cefaly sustains a constant link between migraine pain specific nerves and the electric impulses it generates. Cefaly transmits extremely specific and perfectly adapted electrical impulses to safely stimulate the trigeminal nerve.
Cefaly generates very precise electrical impulses to stimulate the nerve fibers selectively. As the impulses are produced very slowly, they are virtually imperceptible. Cefaly’s advanced technology enables an electronic feedback mechanism to adjust the electrical impulses to the specific requirements of the individual user for personalized efficacy and comfort.
Cefaly specifically stimulates the endorphin-producing, and the touch sensitive nerve fibers of the trigeminal nerve. Cefaly purposely increases the production of endorphins and the influx of touch sensitivity – a mechanism called the Gateway Control System – both are increased to the point that they do not leave any space for the influx of pain stimulus. With a higher level of endorphins, the trigger threshold of headaches or migraine pain is altered by partially blocking the entry of migraine pain into the nervous system.
WHY CEFALY?
IS IT SAFE?
Cefaly is harmless and very safe to use. Its safety has been demonstrated in test and clinical studies Cefaly is a patented medical device supported by numerous clinical studies and safety tests.
Clinically studied over 5 years in university hospital pain clinics and in specialist laboratories. Designed and developed in line with a strict risk analysis compliant with international standard ISO 14971 applicable to medical equipment.
Cefaly complies with directive 93/42/EEC pertaining to medical devices and with all associated international IEC standards.
WHO CAN USE CEFALY?
Migraine Headaches affect people of all ages. Cefaly is designed to only to act on physiological mechanisms therefore it is not age dependent, although as added precaution we recommend it only to children over 8 years old.
Cefaly is ideal for pregnant or nursing mothers who have no choice but to stay away from dangerous pain killing medication.
If used as directed children over 8 years old may use Cefaly if supervised by an adult.
ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Cefaly was designed with safety in mind, all the substances and materials used are bio-compatible and have been subjected to skin testing.
No clinical studies carried out with Cefaly have revealed any evidence of side effects or problems.
Millions of pain treatments, using Cefaly have been monitored and no problems or side effects were reported.

Announcement: New Cardiac Rehab Technology Featured at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Vancouver
The Mercury Treadmill System for Cardiac and the Nustep T5RX will be shown at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress & Community Forum in Vancouver, Oct. 22 – 25, 2011.
Representatives from OrthoCanada and from German manufacturer, h/p/cosmos, will be attending the event to provide Cardiac Rehab specialists the most complete understanding of the features and possibilities that these equipment offer. The Mercury Treadmill shown will be equipped with Adjustable Handrails and with the RoboWalk System, a unique device used to train & strengthen gait for patients with neurological defects or post lower extremity surgery.
Following the CCC event, h/p/cosmos is offering the possibility for a research facility or a rehab clinic in the Vancouver Lower Mainland area to demo or trial the Mercury high performance treadmill for a couple of months. If your facility is looking at purchasing a treadmill in the near future this is a good opportunity to trial one of the best technology in its class. Priority will be given to members of the Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehab (CACR clinics/labs/members) for this opportunity. Interested people can contact Judith Stanfield at js@orthocanada.com
