Theranica announced today that it has signed a contract to supply its Nerivio device to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for use by veterans who suffer from chronic migraine headaches.

Nerivio is worn on the upper arm for 45 minutes and uses remote electrical neuromodulation to activate the brain’s native conditioned pain modulation mechanism to treat pain and associated migraine symptoms, according to Theranica.
