Craniofacial analgesia electrical stimulator

25 devices · GMDN 60682

Craniofacial analgesia electrical stimulators are reusable, battery-powered devices that deliver controlled electrical pulses to nerves in the head and face. Clinically, they’re used to prevent or relieve headaches—including migraines—and frontal sinus pain, sometimes also addressing insomnia by targeting nerve pathways non-invasively.

These devices are typically worn by patients at home and feature electrodes placed on the forehead or other facial areas, paired with a pulse generator. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally classified based on their electrical output and intended use, with compliance requirements covering safety, performance, and labeling for at-home use.
