Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I use Migomed® ?
Migomed® may be fastened onto clothing with the clip on the back of the device, worn around the neck with the elastic string provided, or placed in the breast pocket. Always ensure that the device is no more than 30cm (12 inches) away from the head.

2. Should I use Migomed® only when I have a migraine attack? Must I use it everyday?
We recommend that you use Migomed® as soon as you experience the very first sign of a headache or migraine attack. However, some individuals have attested that wearing Migomed® on migraine-free days helps to prevent and reduce the frequency of future attacks.

3. Can Migomed® alleviate other forms of aches and pains?
Certainly. Migomed® can be worn close to other affected areas (not more than 12 inches away) of the body to help alleviate aches and pains such as

• Menstrual cramps – clip onto underwear, pants or skirt area near the abdomen
• Stiff neck and shoulders – clip onto collar or wear around the neck with the elastic string provided
• Lower backache – clip onto pants or skirt area close to the lower back.

4. I experience some difficulty falling asleep when I use MigomedÒ just prior to bedtime. How do I avoid this?
For most individuals, Migomed® works best when worn throughout the day, and only removed just before bedtime. However, if you experience extreme alertness at night or have difficulty sleeping, remember to remove Migomed® 3 hours prior to bedtime for future use.

5. Can Migomed® be used long term? Will I get dependant on it? Are there any side effects?
Pulsating magnetic field therapy has been used for over thousands of years and its safety has been proven throughout the years. Migomed® are clinically tested, and is registered as a Class Iia device in Germany. They may be used long term without any side effects. You will not develop any dependency on these devices.

6. Sometimes when I press the “on/off” switch, the indicator light blinks intermittently. How do I know if I’ve switched it on or off?
When you press the “on/off” switch, the GREEN light flashes once to indicate that the device has been switched ON, or the RED light flashes once to indicate that the device has been switched OFF. Should the indicator light blink intermittently when the “on/off” switch is pressed, wait for a few seconds before pressing the switch again. Repeat procedure until green or red light appears only once. When in doubt about the working condition of the device at any point, press switch again to confirm.

7. Can children or pregnant/breastfeeding mothers use Migomed®?
It is not recommended for pregnant women to use Migomed®. However, there is no contraindication for breastfeeding mothers and children above six years old.

8. Are Migomed® and suitable for those using pacemaker?
Since there are no safety tests for this group of people, we do not recommend that pacemaker users use any of these devices.

Yes. In fact, Migomed® are recommended for travelers who experience sleeping difficulties in the aircraft or experience headaches due to pressure and motion.

10. If I suffer from headaches and also have difficulty sleeping at night, can I use Migomed® and Silensor® at the same time?
We do not recommend that both devices be used at the same time as this may affect the efficacy of both devices. Try using Migomed® before you go to bed, and Silensor® only when you are going to bed.

11. How long can the battery last?
With normal usage of 8 hours daily, the battery should last at least 6 months.

12. What is “FQ Security System”?
“FQ Security System” is a patented system that guarantees the accuracy of frequency and magnetic field intensity of both devices. (MigomedÒ operates with a magnetic field intensity of 5 µT and a frequency of 16 Hz) In the event of a change in frequency, this system is activated and the red light comes on and stays on until the battery runs out, and device will have no longer have any effect on the user. If this occurs during the 1-year warranty period, you can email sales@ecosway.com and ask for a replacement unit.
