It is a hypersensitivity that makes normal sensations felt Programme 1 is designed to treat the migraine attack, as painful.
V1. Trigeminal nerve stimulation using Programme 1 of the Cefaly Dual (high frequency) induces a sedative effect ® on the nervous system that causes headache pain relief during migraine attacks.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 1. PRACTICAL USE Preparing the session Before first use, make sure to charge the Cefaly Dual (see p. 22). ® 1. Cleansing and degreasing the skin It is essential to cleanse and degrease the skin thoroughly Then cleanse the skin on the forehead (see Figure 2).
2. Removing an electrode 3. Positioning the electrode Remove an electrode from its plastic support, holding Use a mirror to correctly position the electrode (see it by one of its two tips (see Figure 3). The quality of Figure 4). the treatment depends on the quality of the electrodes.
4. Positioning the Cefaly Dual device ® Two magnets allow to fix the device on the electrode. The pointed part is placed downwards with the lower Hold the device and bring the rear side of the device edge placed exactly on the horizontal line that joins with the two magnets against the central part of the both eyebrows (see Figure 5).
