Competitive Landscape
Cefaly competes in the migraine treatment market against a wide range of pharmaceuticals (triptans, gepants, CGRP mAbs) and other neuromodulation devices such as electroCore's gammaCore (vagus nerve stimulator) and Theranica's Nerivio (remote electrical neuromodulation). Its key differentiators are its dual acute/preventive function, over-the-counter status, and specific focus on trigeminal nerve stimulation.
