With this new device, ‘Cefaly’ offers an effective, ideal and drug-free remedy that is not only aimed at treating the condition but also helps reduce these attacks.”

Lunatus is proud to be the first company to make this new device available—bringing an effective solution to migraine sufferers. We encourage those who suffer from periodic migraine attacks to join the tens of thousands of people around the world who have tried ‘Cefaly’ and are now free of migraine pain and pain relieving medications,” concluded Kouatly, Managing Director, Lunatus.
