Why students need migraine support
Migraine is a complex and often disabling condition that typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood. This means students must learn how to manage their condition while they're striving to live independently.
College often makes migraine attacks worse. Some of the most common triggers for migraine are also hallmarks of college life: stress, hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, irregular meal schedules, and alcohol.
Migraine symptoms impede academic success. Blinding pain, brain fog, nausea, light and sound sensitivity, and fatigue make it difficult - even impossible - for students to complete coursework.
There is no simple cure for migraine. For most patients, migraine management requires multiple modes of treatment beyond medication. Neuromodulation with CEFALY is a clinically proven, non-prescription option.
Early intervention can lead to improved lifetime outcomes. When intermittent migraine is left untreated, it may become chronic. Chronic migraine is painful, debilitating, and difficult to treat.

CEFALY@School FAQ
What is a migraine?
Migraine is a complex neurological disorder that causes intense headache pain along with other disabling symptoms, such as nausea, fatigue, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can last from 4 to 72 hours.
La gravité et la fréquence des crises de migraine varient. Some students may experience symptoms just once or twice per month, while others experience chronic migraine pain. Migraine is not a curable condition, but it can be managed successfully with neuromodulation, medication, lifestyle changes, and other interventions.
Why should we offer a wellness program for students with migraine?
Does your institution already offer support for students with other chronic and/or invisible illnesses, such as diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, or mental health conditions? Migraine is no different. CEFALY@School is simple to integrate with your existing wellness program and provides support for this common (and often misunderstood) condition.
Why is CEFALY an optimal migraine treatment for students?
- It's drug-free. Medication adherence is a challenge for students, and many prefer not to take prescription medication when they have a better option.
- It's accessible. Migraine can be prohibitively expensive to treat. Les médicaments d’ordonnance les plus récents (et les plus efficaces) ne sont souvent pas couverts par les régimes d’assurance maladie et peuvent vous coûter jusqu'à 1 000 $ ou plus. CEFALY is an effective treatment option with a low cost per use.
- It provides relief and prevention in one. Reducing the frequency of attacks is just as important as relieving pain and other symptoms. CEFALY does both.
- It helps them achieve academic goals. CEFALY can help students feel better and focus on their work without the brain fog and fatigue of migraine medication.
- It helps them achieve wellness goals. The CEFALY device pairs with the CeCe Migraine Management app so students can optimize their treatments, learn their migraine patterns, and track their progress over time.
L’appareil portable de neuromodulation de CEFALY Technology, approuvé par la FDA, est cliniquement prouvé pour prévenir et soulager les symptômes de la migraine. Trusted by more than 200,000 migraine patients as well as U.S. VA hospitals, CEFALY is based on more than 20 years of research.
Are there Section 504 protections for students with migraine?
Yes. A student with migraine can be considered a student with a disability for purposes of Section 504 if the student's migraine substantially limits one or more major life activities. Students with migraine may need certain modifications or accommodations, such as:
- A learning environment without bright lights or strong fragrances
- Being allowed to wear sunglasses or a hat in class
- Permission to use different learning materials (e.g. audiobooks) or learn remotely
- The ability to make up work, without penalty
- Being allowed to take rest breaks or get extra time if a student has a migraine during an exam
