Hi everyone, it's me Christy!
If youve known me for more than five minutes, you know Im resourceful as heck. If I find something that helps, Im going to share it, especially when it comes to pain.
I dont sell this device. Im sharing because it's the first time Ive been migraine free in months, and Ive tried everything. Massage is always my go-to, but these migraines weren’t just muscle or stress driven, so bodywork alone wasn't enough to interrupt this pattern. That’s why this made such a difference. This is the only change Ive made. If you struggle with migraines that wake you up in the early morning hours, this device may be the game changer.
If you like the sciencey stuff behind how and why it works? Read on. During the day, everything adds up. Stress, stimulation, hormones, screen use, muscle tension, food, emotions. All of it increases activity in pain and stress circuits in the brain. That accumulated load determines how close you are to your migraine threshold.
At night, the nervous system is supposed to actively turn that activity down. This isnt just rest. During deep sleep, the hypothalamus reduces pain sensitivity by lowering autonomic arousal, quieting trigeminal activity, and stabilizing neurochemical signaling. The goal is to return the system to a low reactivity baseline before morning.
In some migraine patterns, that overnight regulation doesnt fully happen. Instead of shutting things down, pain and stress circuits stay partially active through the night. The brain enters the morning already near threshold, so normal morning changes like light, movement, and cortisol push it over.
This also helps explain why many migraine medications, both acute and preventive, dont fully work for this pattern. Most act downstream by blocking pain or inflammation after threshold is crossed, or by trying to dampen activity during the day. When the issue is incomplete overnight regulation, those approaches dont address the upstream control problem that determines whether the migraine forms at all.
What helped interrupt that pattern for me was this neuromodulation device called NeoRhythm, specifically its sleep or delta mode.
It uses low frequency pulsed electromagnetic signals to support the brains natural calming rhythms, lowering nervous system reactivity and quieting pain pathways during sleep. By supporting this process overnight, the hypothalamus can finally complete its normal down regulation so the system actually resets before morning.
If your migraines are early morning and resistant to the usual trigger chasing or medication only approach, this is a device worth trying.
