The device may offer some relief, perhaps reducing the intensity or allowing more functional time during an attack. But there’s no guarantee it will eliminate the migraine or shorten it dramatically for everyone. Given the severity and duration described, devices may serve better as part of a toolkit, not the only solution. Considering cost, ongoing maintenance (electrodes/pads), ease-of-use during a debilitated migraine state, and realistic expectations will be key. If possible, trialing the device (or finding a provider who allows a demo) might help determine personal suitability before heavy investment.
