Managing Migraines and Diabetes? Theranica Proves Migraine Wearable Is Safe to Use with CGMs
Theranica published a peer‑reviewed study confirming that its Nerivio Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) wearable can be used concurrently with leading continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems without compromising data accuracy. The trial involved 21 adults with diabetes, testing Abbott FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom devices during 45‑minute migraine treatment sessions. Median glucose reading deviation was just 1.6%, far below the 5% safety threshold, and no Bluetooth disruptions or adverse events occurred. The findings address safety concerns for the estimated 4.5 million U.S. patients who manage both migraine and diabetes.
