Can You Use A Tens Unit For Migraine?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Auburn, CA

I recently got a TENs unit for my back pain due to herniated disc and slipped vertebrae. It works wonders! Now I know there are company’s who make tiny tens units just for migraine like Cefaly. I don’t really want to dish out the $389 for one though. Can’t I just use my tens unit? And where would I place the pads if I did?

A MyMigraineTeam Member

Not a good idea I tried just to intense even at the lowest level. I used my cefaly ever night helps a little but I put all the little things I do to lower my pain and it adds up. Good Luck

I don't know how to minimize it's effect. I wear sunglasses and try to hold my hand up above my eyes to try and… read more
