Where to position the device
Nerivio should be placed on the outer part of the upper arm between the elbow and shoulder.
The armband will also provide assurance that when wearing the device, the electrodes will sit firmly against your skin and allow for movement during treatment.
Placement of the device on your arm can affect its efficacy. Be sure to follow the instructions on your Nerivio device.
Two ways to wear Nerivio
Option 1:
Remove the protective film from the electrodes.
Place the device on the upper outer arm.
Adjust the armband to your size.
Wrap the armband around your arm.
Treat your migraine headache.
Option 2:
To wear the Nerivio device, attach it to the armband, remove the protective film from the electrodes and then wrap the armband around your upper arm. Ensure the device is in contact with your skin for effective stimulation. For a detailed demonstration of how to use the device, watch our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srA6ZASPlDI.
Adjusting Armband Sizes for Optimal Fit
During your first use, adjust the armband to your size. You can choose from four sizes (S, M, L, XL). Use the extension for L and XL sizes.
For Smaller Sizes
If the S size is still too loose to use, please contact Nerivio Cares at 1-866-637-4846 to have an XS armband sent to you free of charge.
For Larger Sizes
If the armband and extender are not large enough, we are happy to send you additional extenders in the mail. Please contact Nerivio Cares at 1-866-637-4846 or [email protected].
We would need to know how many extenders you need (3 1/2" each), your mailing address, and your phone number. We will ship at no charge to you.
Can Nerivio be used on other parts of the body?
Nerivio should be placed on the outer part of the upper arm between the elbow and shoulder. Do not use the device on the heart, chest, neck, head, or any other body location because this can cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
Do not wear Nerivio on other parts of the body other then the upper arm.
Does it matter which arm you put the Nerivio on?
The Nerivio device can be worn on either the right or left upper arm.
💡Tip: Nerivio can be used on either arm, regardless of the side of the headache.
