Relivion has received both FDA clearanceand CE mark for the treatment of migraine, and it is currently in late-stageclinical testing for depression. Relivionis a lightweight headband that delivers neuro-stimulation to the occipital andtrigeminal nerves, which are located on the back of the head and forehead,respectively. This action releasesneurotransmitters and modulates brain networks to positively affect pain andmood. The device includes an app that allowspatients to share at-home treatment data with their physicians. This unique feature allows the physician to tailorthe treatment and potentially identify factors that may contribute to theirmigraines.
“Because of our commitment to developingthe most innovative and effective neuroscience therapies to improve the livesof patients in Asia, NeuroFront is very excited to partner with Jings to bringRelivion to the many patients in Taiwan suffering from migraine anddepression,” commented June Yan, co-founder and CEO of NeuroFront.”
“Migraineand depression affect patients’ quality of life significantly,” stated Jings’General Manager Laicheng Jian. “Relivion fully complieswith Jings’ principle of “safety first, effectiveness first.” In addition, its ease of use greatlyincreases patient acceptance. We believe that Relivion will be able to benefitthe patients suffering from migraine and depression in Taiwan.
Relivion’s FDA marketing clearance formigraine is based on the results of a multi-center, prospective, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study,. Forty-six percent (46%) ofthe patients in the active group reached complete pain freedom compared to only11.8% of patients in the control group. Seventy-five percent (75%) of patientsin the active group reached complete freedom of “Most Bothersome Symptom” (MBS,which is defined as either phonophobia, photophobia, or nausea), within 2 hoursfollowing treatment, compared to 46.7% in the control group. Complete freedomof migraine symptoms (freedom from pain as well as freedom from MBS) at 2 hoursafter treatment was significantly higher in the active group than in thecontrol group (47.2% vs. 11.1%). Pain relief was also significantly higher inthe active group than in the control group at 2 hours after treatment (60% vs.37%). No serious adverse events were reported. Patients started using either theRelivion or a “placebo” device with lower treatment intensity, at the onset oftheir migraine episode for up to one hour. Patients were able to treat severalmigraine episodes during the course of the trial. The study, also known as“RIME”, was conducted at leading medical centers in the United States andIsrael, and it evaluated the safety and efficacy of Relivion with 131 patientswho met the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3)criteria of migraine with or without aura.
Relivion has also been granted BreakthroughDevice designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for majordepression disorder. Neurolief is conducting a multi-center pivotal trial, alsoknown as “MOOD”, for the registration of Relivion’s new indication for thetreatment of depression.
