Neuromodulation

Caption

WVU School of Medicine researcher Umer Najib is studying whether this neuromodulation device--made by electroCore--can prevent migraine in people who apply it to their necks three times a day. If his clinical trial suggests the device works as intended, it may point toward a new treatment that has fewer side effects than conventional migraine medications and is safer for a wider range of patients.
