NHS England Rolls Out Gadget for Zapping Away Cluster Headache Pain

GammaCore uses non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation to soothe pain without drugs.

Electrical signals disrupt pain signals that run through a vital nerve in the area.

Users will likely feel muscle contractions that pull their lip downwards, but this is no cause for alarm.

These muscle contractions indicate that the unit is positioned correctly, and their headache will diminish within minutes.

This mandate is part of the NHS Long Term Plan which came into effect on April 1, 2021.

GammaCore is a prime example of this, as it allows patients to treat themselves easily at home.

The NHS Long Term Plan committed to making cutting edge treatments and technology available to save and improve lives.
