I took my time evaluating this device. I’ve had it for 4 months and I have been impressed. The design is beautiful and perfectly thought out. It is so easy to charge and I have only needed to charge it a few times. The included magnetic case is brilliant and makes it easy store, while also keeping the electrode pads fresh. I was very worried about needing to re-purchase pads but these electrodes last a really long time. Initially, I was a bit put off by needing an hour for the treatment. However, I soon discovered that it’s so easy to use that I’m happy to relax before bed with it on. I do feel that the HeadaTerm has been a helpful tool in preventing migraines. My migraine frequency has gone down while several of my triggers have increased, so that counts as a win. For acute migraine treatment, I am mostly positive about the device, but I have had a migraine where I just could not deal with putting on the device. Overall, I would absolutely buy this device again. It is a great, drug-free tool and at this price point, it’s a ganga! Note to future users: learn how to turn it down or off before applying it to the forehead. I had a little freak out and tried to rip it off when I turned the intensity up too high, but then it stuck to my fingers - LOL. Read more

This is our second unit and we love this product. It comes in a durable package and a headband to stabilize the TENS unit on your forehead. The adjustment takes a couple uses for the intensity to set in and it doesnt help with every particular migraine case. If TENS method is helpful for your migraine, this product is almost a no brainer, given the ease of carry, fit and price point. Headaterm for the win! Read more

I periodically endure migraines related to a separate neurological condition. Typically, if not medicinally “caught” before a certain point of no return I’m down for the count with all the debilitating migraine conditions. Enter my use of the HeadaTerm-2, primarily to blunt the development of migraines - without medication. This works well if I am at home and not scheduled for a Zoom call or other interpersonal interaction where an embarrassing explanation may be warranted for why I am wearing technology on my forehead. Only when I am embarrassed to walk around with tech prominently displayed on my forehead do I rely exclusively on medicinal migraine treatment. Although the HeadaTerm-2 can be used preventively, I have not opted yet to use it for that purpose because of the consistent time commitment involved. Anywhere from 20-60 minutes per day, everyday, is recommended for the prevention of migraines. Therefore, I am unable to comment yet on the efficacy of that benefit. However, when I feel a migraine brewing and can privately wear the HeadaTerm-2, I have found it to be an effective non-medicinal means by which to stop the headache’s progression within about 30-45 minutes. Placement - the device’s metal electrodes must be placed a finger width above the eyebrows to provide effective relief. Operation - ensure a full charge, press/hold to turn on, on, single press to adjust each of nine levels, and press/hold to turn off (or auto off - double beep - after one hour). No app involved. The default is 60 minutes of treatment (no ill effects experienced at mid range for that duration). For really stubborn, unrelenting, conditions, I have found that the Headache-Term-2, coupled with over the counter “migraine” meds, amplifies the normal strength of those meds, which more work quicker and more effectively. Because the forehead’s skin must be clean before affixing the (10x reusable) electrodes, this device may have limited practical use for makeup wearers. I have not tried affixing the HeadaTerm-2 over makeup, but I surmise that failure to remove the makeup first lessens the conductivity and effectiveness, and will lessen the reusability of the electrodes. Just keep those likely factors in mind, or find makeup wearers’ reviews to offer possible workaround solutions. I am really thankful for having found the HeadaTerm-2 for the non-medicinal relief that it provides. Perhaps soon I’ll begin using it for its preventative purposes too. I confidently recommend the HeadaTerm-2 as an effective non-medicinal, neuromodulated, “migraine killa” treatment, on its own, or as a powerful supplement that speeds and amplifies the effects of over the counter migraine meds.

After trying and regularly using their anti-nausea device for over a year (and making solution for what's become a daily challenge), I got one of these for myself and family to handle migraines as well. It's definitely worth trying as a first line of defense before one resorts to medication. Headaterm keeps its products simple and usable. It fits nicely, and offers a straightforward means to run. As someone who works in software, with family who doesn't, it's easy for anyone to follow. It doesn't connect to an app as there's no reason to have to, just set it from the device itself. Easy to use, and has been working for us. Read more

I have been getting horrible headaches that span from temple to temple and pierce behind the eyes. I do not like taking a lot medicine so I try to find healthy alternatives that work. I fell in love with this company when I purchased their anti-nausea band and it worked wonders. It’s become a product I can’t go without. I was so happy when I saw they make something for head pain (migraines/headaches). With high hopes, they did not disappoint. It works! I can only get to level three but it goes higher. It’s not an instant pain reliever, as for me, it takes about 10-20 minutes of wear before I can feel the relief, which is about the same amount of time it takes for medicine to work. It comes with a very nice carrying case. I do wish the electrode part was washable for longer use, but you can get multiple uses out of each one and it sticks perfectly each time. I also wish the carrying case included a fixed mirror to use when placing in correct spot (about a finger width above eyebrows). Once again, EmeTerm has made another product that I can’t go without and I’m so grateful they allow me to have medicine-free pain relief. Read more

I’ve had migraines most of my life. Unfortunately I cannot tolerate any of the meds to treat or prevent them. I’ve looked at similar migraine devices years ago, but the huge price tag and monthly fees prohibited me from ever trying them. I was so excited to find this device and find out it was recently FDA approved in the US. It’s significantly cheaper too! I’ve been using it daily since it arrived. It’s easy to put on, easy to operate and comfortable to wear. I love that it also comes with a headband to help hold it in place as the electrodes get worn out. I’m very hopeful this device will help reduce the frequency and intensity of my headaches. It’s totally worth a try! Go for it! Read more

As someone who has battled chronic migraines for 4 decades, I've tried just about everything. I have to say the Headaterm2 has been a surprisingly powerful addition to my migraine-fighting toolbox. For me, the Headaterm2 has significantly reduced the intensity and frequency of my attacks. I use it at the first sign, and often it can stop it in its tracks or, if not stop, at least lessen its severity. After using it initially to stop attacks, I’ve shifted my daily routine to include it as a daily preventive with short, low intensity sessions every morning. I’ve definitely noticed a difference. I appreciate the non-medicated approach. It takes some getting used to. Best advice I read and used was “lean into it.” The first jolt when you activate it still kind of startles me. But I lay down, turn on a relaxing podcast/music and meditate while it does its thing. It works for me. It's easy to use, and the device itself is surprisingly comfortable to wear. The electrodes it comes with have longevity if you prep your skin as instructed before using and take care of them as directed. And the headband that comes with the Headaterm helps further extend the life of the electrodes. This is much appreciated! Pros: * Simple and intuitive design. Read the instruction booklet. It IS easy to use, once you understand how to use it. The Headaterm device runs for 60 minutes. If I want a shorter session, I activate the device and start a timer on my phone so I know when to turn it off. Not gonna lie, sometimes it feels so good I fall into a lull, turn the timer off and just end up completing a full 60-minute session. Its packaging is fantastic. I haven’t taken it anywhere with me. But it does seem to be built to be able to be used on the go with relative ease. Satisfactory Battery Life. I make sure to charge it after every 4-5 uses. I made the mistake early on of waiting until it was low. The reminders during the session that the battery is low are gentle but definitely impacts my ability to “lean into it” and relax while using. So now I’m very proactive about making sure it’s charged on a regular schedule. Based on my experience, the best charging experience is through computer USB connection. Price. I had my eye on both Headaterm and the higher priced device for some time, evaluating and considering if I wanted to try either one. The higher price of the other device gave me considerable pause. The price point on Headaterm made it a safer choice. I'm quite satisfied with my choice. Size/Weight of Unit: Again, compared to reviews of the other higher priced device, Headaterm appeared smaller and lighter – which is important to me. I’ve never used the other device, but I am VERY happy with how Headaterm performs in this area and am not interested in checking out the other device for comparison. Possible Con: Lack of Programmability/Bluetooth Connectivity: Weighing all the options, I personally don’t find this a con. But some people might. I like the ability to manually control my sessions and not have to deal with bluetooth connectivity issues I've read about with the higher priced device. One frustration averted in my mind. Overall: For me, the Headaterm2 isn't my miracle, but it's a powerful tool. Frankly, it’s one of the best I’ve found in years. Read more

This device is amazing although I must admit to referring to it as the torture machine haha. I have been using it for just over a week now and using it numerous times a day for chronic migraines. I had no idea my head was that painful until I started to use this and felt the relief. It does say that you can get up to 10 uses from one strip however I have found that making sure my skin is cleaned and clean the strip afterwards, keeps it working fine. I haven't had to change it yet and have used it for quite a few hours. A bit of hand sanitiser does the trick to clean it as long as you are careful. My one gripe is the battery doesn't last long however it would be a much larger unit if it did so I am happy enough. I have noticed that the pain is not nearly as intense now that I have used it for a while so something is working. It doesn't pull so much on the muscles round my eyes and forehead so they are easing off. The box is great to keep everything together and the headband makes sure it stays in place once the stickiness has worn off a bit. No wires means that you can carry on with your day. I do tend to turn it up to what is almost intolerable but after a couple of minutes the pain isn't nearly so bad and I can relax, to a degree, again. If you suffer migraines, I wouldn't hesitate to try this rather remarkable little gadget. Any relief without medication has to be positive although it may not suit everyone. My only query really i,s if it is sold as a medical device, why is there no ability to claim zero tax but it is a Canadian product so perhaps that is the reason. Read more
