The main objective of this study is to have a pilot assessment of the efficacy of the Cefaly®
Abortive Program device used at home for 2 hours to treat a migraine attack, as triptans are
generally used. That is to say having pilot data to assess the efficacy of the Cefaly®
Abortive Program device in the abortive treatment of acute migraine as measured by 2-hour
pain freedom, pain relief and migraine associated symptoms freedom, plus evolution of these
measurements for 24 hours after the beginning of the treatment session.
