Most people have never heard of cluster headache. For those living with it, that invisibility is part of the burden.

Cluster headache is a severe neurological disorder that causes excruciating, one-sided pain behind the eye. Attacks can occur up to eight times per day, in clusters of one to two months, followed by periods of remission. For people with chronic cluster headache, those remissions are absent or last less than three months.

It affects 1 in 1,000 people. Unlike migraine, which predominantly affects women, cluster headache is more common in men. Genetics play a role in who is affected and how severely.

Today is Cluster Headache Awareness Day. A moment to make the invisible visible.

Today, Beat the Beast, Tacsweb and Hoofdpijnnet are bringing together patients, caregivers and clinicians in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, for a day of medical updates, peer connection and practical support. Salvia BioElectronics supported this event.

We stand with everyone affected by cluster headache. More awareness. More research. More urgency.

As Senior Usability Engineer at Salvia BioElectronics, Aurélie Debeyre plays a key role in ensuring the company’s novel neuromodulation therapy for people with migraine is designed with patients in mind. Her work connects research insights with the perspectives of healthcare professionals and Salvia’s engineering and development teams.

Originally from Lille, France, Aurélie joined Salvia last May after several years in Utrecht working for an American company. There, she collaborated with international teams and traveled regularly across the United States, visiting cities such as Chicago, Boston and Denver.

Early in her career as a consultant, Aurélie worked with large multidisciplinary teams at major companies developing a wide range of medical technologies, from complex surgical robots to injectable devices. Over time, she discovered she was most motivated by the opportunity to focus deeply on a single product and follow its development closely.

“When I saw the position at Salvia on LinkedIn, I was not really looking for a job. I was happy in my company,” Aurélie says. “But this position came at exactly the right moment for me.”

As Salvia’s Senior Usability Engineer, Aurélie focuses on how complex medical technology will actually be used in real-world healthcare environments. A product “is going to be used by someone at the end of the day, and my role is to bring everything I observe about the users and environment in which the product will be used.”

“What I really liked during the interview process is that Salvia always had the user in mind,” she says. “Patients are always part of the conversation, and the team works closely with physicians to make sure the product is safe and fits what people really need.”

On the personal side, Aurélie describes herself as reserved but not shy. Music and live performances are a big passion. She has traveled to see productions and concerts across Europe and the United States, including Sting’s The Last Ship in Amsterdam, and Oasis in Chicago.

“I don’t want to have any regrets, right?”

Today, on International Women’s Day, we recognize the disproportionate burden that migraine places on women.

Chronic migraine is one of the most severe and disabling neurological disorders, and around 80% of people living with chronic migraine are women.

This reality is a powerful motivator for our work at Salvia BioElectronics. Every day we dedicate ourselves to developing a novel neuromodulation therapy for people affected by this debilitating condition.

Today we also recognize the incredible women in our team, who represent more than 40% of Salvia BioElectronics and play a vital role in advancing our science, technology, and mission. 🙏

Together, we remain committed to empowering people with migraine to reclaim their lives.

Today, Salvia BioElectronics celebrates 9 years.

Salvia was born from a strong personal drive combined with a clear and urgent medical need.

Chronic migraine is not “just a headache.”
It is a debilitating neurological condition that forces people out of their social lives, their work, and the life they want to live.

Nine years ago, our three founders turned that urgency into action. What began as a bold vision has grown into a multidisciplinary team of more than 60 scientists, engineers, and innovators, all driven by the same mission to empower people with migraine to reclaim their lives.

Today, we are advancing our investigational therapy in clinical studies, marking an important milestone in our journey to bring a new treatment option to patients who need better solutions.

We are proud of how far we have come.
And we know this is just the beginning.

Thank you to our team, (clinical) partners, investors, participating hospitals, and especially the patients who inspire us every day.

The American Migraine Foundation illustrates what it means to live with migraine.

Migraine is a debilitating neurological condition that often goes unseen. What is visible on the outside does not always reflect the internal experience, which can include brain fog, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and sensitivity to light.

By making the invisible visible, the American Migraine Foundation contributes to greater awareness and understanding of the impact of migraine for the 40 million Americans living with the condition.

From reactive headache care to real-time intervention.

Cluster headache is one of the most severe pain conditions, yet care still relies largely on retrospective reports and pain diaries. This limits timely intervention and delays effective treatment.

CLUSTERSENSE is an OPZuid-funded project (2025–2028) developing an AI-driven, closed-loop system that combines continuous physiological monitoring with personalized neurostimulation to detect and respond to attacks as they occur.

Within the project, Salvia BioElectronics contributes implantable neurostimulation technology, further developed toward adaptive, data-informed use, alongside Mentech Engineering and Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC).

By integrating AI, sensing, and clinical expertise, CLUSTERSENSE supports a more objective and data-driven approach to cluster headache care.

Proud to stand with the migraine community.

At 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥 in Washington, DC this week, nearly 300 advocates are meeting with lawmakers to represent the 40 million Americans living with migraine and other headache disorders. Across 280 meetings, they’re sharing lived experiences and highlighting the need for improved access to care, stronger research, and meaningful support for patients.

We are proud of our colleague Roni Diaz (VP Clinical & Regulatory Affairs) for standing alongside patients and advocates at Headache on the Hill, helping ensure the patient voice remains central to these important conversations.

In the photo, Roni is pictured with Amaal Starling, MD, FAHS, FAAN, Headache Neurologist and Associate Professor of Neurology at Mayo Clinic, receiving the Heroism in Headache Advocacy Award — a recognition of leadership and dedication to the migraine community. Roni is also pictured with members of the Utah/New Mexico delegation and congressional staff, united in support of patient-centered solutions.

Key legislative discussions this week include:

➡️The HEADACHE Act – landmark legislation to strengthen federal research, improve data collection, and increase public awareness around headache disorders.
➡️The Safe Step Act – helping ensure patients can access the medications their physicians prescribe without unnecessary step-therapy delays.
➡️The CONNECT for Health Act – expanding and making permanent critical telehealth flexibilities to improve access to specialty care.

As a clinical-stage medtech company advancing neuromodulation therapies for migraine and cluster headache, we believe innovation and patient access go hand in hand.

We’re honored to stand with patients, clinicians, researchers, and advocates working toward a future where migraine is better understood, better treated, and never overlooked.

We are proud that our colleague Roni Diaz (VP Clinical & Regulatory Affairs) is in Washington, DC for 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥, joining nearly 300 advocates from across the US to meet face-to-face with members of Congress and raise awareness for people living with migraine and other headache disorders.

They are meeting with members of Congress to share real-world experiences and highlight key areas that can help improve care for those affected.

Migraine and other headache disorders can have a substantial impact on daily life, yet they are often overlooked. By raising awareness and sharing personal perspectives, we can help improve access to care and enhance the quality of life for those living with these conditions.
