Doctors for years have theorized that migraines are associated with abnormal body core temperatures. The thought is that vessels in the brain become dilated and diffuse causing blood to exert pressure on the brain creating the auras and pain that many migraine sufferers exhibit. Low or high body core temperatures are a contributing factor. If you can thermoregulate (normalize) body core temperature many symptoms including migraines may simply disappear or be significantly reduced in both severity and frequency. Currently the standard of care includes some form of medicated treatment protocol that may include over-the-counter and prescription medications, and/or hormone treatment therapies.These all carry risks and sometimes significant cost and side effects and may not be effective in treating the condition.

I've never heard this theory. You know a lot about this. Do you have Migraines. Do you work for the company?

I've had severe migraines weekly for 20 years and have tried everything. I heard about a migraine study being conducted in Socal using this device, so I applied. I've used this device 3x per week for 3 weeks and my migraines are now half as intense and once or twice per month. The study is directed at establishing a clinical link between low temp and migraines along with the effectiveness of this new non-invasive type of treatment. So far, this treatment has worked for me.

They offer a thyroid treatment that treats low temperature and migraines, but I feel the new treatment I am now taking is more effective.

I emailed the FDA about this device, and the reply I received stated:

 

"This is in response to your email below to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting information on a medical device.

In searching our database of FDA cleared devices, I was unable to find one listed with the name "Avacen." I noticed on the web site you provided it states that their product has not been evaluated by the FDA, therefore it currently does not have FDA marketing clearance and I have no information I can offer on it. "
