PROGRAMMES
3.1.
PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
Programme 1
is designed to
treat migraine attacks and has a
duration of 60 minutes. It should
be applied when the migraine is
already present or, preferably,
when the first signs of the next
migraine attack are felt.
Note:
Some migraine
patients
develop
Allodynia with their
migraine attacks. This makes any
skin stimulation, including
QALM,
feel painful.
Programme 2
is designed to
prevent migraines and will last
for 20 minutes. This programme
should be used once a day.
Regular use helps to reduce the
frequency of migraine attacks.

GEL PAD ADVICE
•
Gel pads are reusable but for
single patient use.
•
In order to get the best
conductivity through the gel
pads, always make sure they
are in good condition and
sticky.
•
Make sure you clean the
forehead before use.
•
After use, always replace the
clear plastic liner on top of
the gel pads on the device.
Keep the device and gel
pads in the travel case.
•
Replace the gel pads when
they lose their adhesion.
