A Prospective Post-marketing Observational Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Nerivio for Migraine Prevention.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Nerivio is a remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device that is FDA-cleared for migraine prevention (as well as for acute treatment of migraine), in individuals 12 and older. The study is a post-marketing, observational, prospective, real-world evidence study assessing the safety, efficacy, and health economics outcomes of Nerivio for migraine prevention in a real-world environment. The study population is naïve Nerivio users, aged 12 and up, who were prescribed Nerivio by their healthcare provider for either prevention treatment (for use every other day) or dual-use treatment (for use every other day and upon the onset of a migraine). The study period per participant is six months. During this period, participants will be requested to use Nerivio according to the instructions of their healthcare provider and to fill out a short daily questionnaire in the Nerivio application

Detailed Description
Nerivio is an FDA-approved remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device for the acute and/or preventive treatment of migraine with or without aura. Nerivio delivers transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the upper arm to induce conditioned pain modulation (CPM) that activates a descending endogenous analgesic mechanism. The treatment is self-administered and controlled by a smartphone application. The study will assess the safety and efficacy of Nerivio, used every other day for prevention and possibly whenever needed for acute treatment, as prescribed to participants by their own healthcare provider. The study will also assess certain health economics outcomes related to the treatment.
Patients aged 12 or above who were prescribed Nerivio for prevention or dual-use treatment of migraine after April 1st.
New Nerivio users will be sent an invitation message (via in-app notification and email), inviting them to fill out a Screening Eligibility Questionnaire. Those who meet the eligibility criteria will be offered to participate in the study. Candidate participants will then complete and sign an electronic Informed Consent Form (ICF). Immediately following this, participants will receive a Baseline Questionnaire with questions relating to the time period prior to using Nerivio.
The study duration for each participant is 24 weeks. During this time, participants will fill out the Daily Diary in the Nerivio App. In the middle of the study period (end of week 12), and at the end of the 24 weeks, participants will be asked to fill out follow-up questionnaires (Mid-study questionnaire & Completion questionnaire) with questions on migraine and related symptoms, medication intake, health economics, and satisfaction with the treatment.
Participants who stop treatment will be sent a Completion questionnaire concerning the reason for their withdrawal.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in the number of monthly migraine days during the study [24 weeks]
Change in number of monthly migraine days depicting the change in the number of migraine days from weeks 1-4 to that of the subsequent study months. Migraine Day: a calendar day with a headache that is either accompanied by at least one of the following symptoms: 1. Photophobia/phonophobia 2. nausea (with or without vomiting), OR is treated with a migraine-specific acute medication.
- Rate of Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) [24 weeks]
Numer of AE, SAE and Device-related Adverse Events
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in the number of monthly headache days during the study [24 weeks]
Change in number of monthly headache days depicting the change in the number of headache days from weeks 1-4 to that of the subsequent study months. Headache Day: a calendar day with a headache of any severity.
- Change in the number of monthly moderate-severe headache days during the study. [24 weeks]
Change in number of monthly moderate/severe headache days depicting the change in the number of moderate/severe headache days from weeks 1-4 to that of the subsequent study months. Moderate/Severe Headache Day: a headache day where the headache intensity was either moderate or severe.
- Change in the number of monthly prescribed acute medication intake days during the study. [24 weeks]
Change in number of monthly prescribed acute medication intake days depicting the change in the number of prescribed acute medication intake days from weeks 1-4 to that of the subsequent study months. Acute Medication Day: a calendar day on which the participant took at least one prescribed medication for acute treatment of migraine.
Other Outcome Measures
- Change in the monthly mean number of presenteeism days during the study. [24 weeks]
Change in number of monthly presenteeism days depicting the change in the number of presenteeism days from weeks 1-4 to that of the subsequent study months. Presenteeism Day: a calendar day on which the participant is at work (or school) with the presence of moderate/severe functional disability
- Change in the monthly mean number of absenteeism days during the study [24 weeks]
Change in number of monthly absenteeism days depicting the change in the number of absenteeism days from weeks 1-4 to that of the subsequent study months. Absenteeism Day: a calendar day on which the participant is absent from work (or school) due to migraine disability.
- Adherence to treatment [24 weeks]
Proportion of participants (in percent) treating at least 10 times per 4-weeks period
- Patient Global Impression [24 weeks]
Change in the Patient's Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) during the study period. Patient's Global Impression of Severity score scale is a Scale text (single-question scale): Since the start of the study, my overall status is: Very much improved Much improved Minimally improved No change Minimally worse Much worse Very much worse
- Self report of tolerability [24 weeks]
Change in the Patient's Self report of tolerability during the study period This outcome measure is a single-item self-report scale to assess the patient's subjective experience of the extent to which the treatment was well-tolerated. Scale text: To what extent was the treatment well tolerated? Completely tolerable Very tolerable Moderately tolerable Slightly tolerable Not at all tolerable
- Prediction of a migraine day [24 weeks]
prediction of a migraine day based on prodromal symptoms. Predictive accuracy, measured as the difference between the observed values and predicted values of the occurrence of a migraine day in the following (predicted) day.
