Migraine is a neurological disease, yet millions of people who live with migraine are undiagnosed, untreated, or misunderstood. Because it isn’t talked about enough, many don’t realize how common it truly is.

"Migraine is something that a lot of people live with in silence," says Cali. "And I just think that's so undervalued. It's really not acknowledged enough and it's not talked about enough."

While there's no cure for migraine, there's many treatment options that can help manage the condition. CEFALY is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared migraine treatment that works by stimulating the trigeminal nerve. It's a gentle, safe treatment with minimal side effects compared to medication.
