GammaCore, a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator (nVNS), distinguishes itself from traditional methods by employing gentle electrical stimulation through the skin to activate the vagus nerve. This innovative approach aims to prevent and alleviate headache pain without resorting to surgery. Why target the vagus nerve? Think of it as the "superhighway" of the nervous system, facilitating communication between the brain and various body parts. By stimulating the vagus nerve, GammaCore effectively intercepts and blocks pain signals responsible for triggering attacks, offering rapid relief and potentially preventing future occurrences. This non-invasive method provides a promising alternative for managing headache pain without the need for invasive procedures.
