Theranica Bio-Electronics Ltd. received expanded CE mark approval for Nerivio, a therapy that can both prevent and treat acute migraine in adults and adolescents. The Netanya, Israel-based company is now partnering with a large, publicly traded, pharmaceutical firm to launch the device later this year, first in Germany and then roll out commercial operations in several other European countries in 2024, Alon Ironi, CEO and co-founder of Theranica, told BioWorld.
Theranica Bio-Electronics Ltd. broadened its U.S. FDA clearances for the Nerivio prescription wearable to include migraine prevention in individuals with or without aura. The remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device offers an alternative to the significant population of migraine patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate prescription drugs that treat the condition.
Theranica Bioelectronics Ltd. has snagged an expanded clearance from the U.S. FDA for use of its smartphone-controlled Nerivio device to treat migraines in adolescents. The new indication, for acute treatment of episodic or chronic migraine in people 12 years and older, is supported by a study published last month in the journal Headache.
