About
ElectroCore is a healthcare technology company that specializes in developing non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) therapy for various medical conditions. The company’s mission is to improve patient outcomes and enhance the quality of life through innovative neuromodulation therapies.
Vagus nerve stimulation involves the use of mild electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve, which is a crucial part of the autonomic nervous system. By targeting the vagus nerve, electroCore aims to modulate neural pathways and influence the body’s physiological responses to treat a range of disorders.
The flagship product of electroCore is gammaCore™, a handheld, non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator. It is designed to deliver gentle electrical signals through the skin to the cervical branch of the vagus nerve, which can help alleviate symptoms associated with specific medical conditions. gammaCore is FDA-cleared for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache, two severe and debilitating neurological conditions.

1 – gammaCore™
A non-invasive device, the gammaCore, is a handheld device that is placed on the neck over the vagus nerve to treat migraines and cluster headaches, which are felt on one side of the head, often around the eye area.
When activated, it delivers a mild electrical signal that stimulates the nerve, which is believed to help reduce inflammation and pain associated with migraines and cluster headaches.
gammaCore has been cleared by the U.S. FDA for the acute treatment of episodic cluster headaches and migraine pain in adults over the age of 18.
