Area of Science:

Neurology
Medical Device Technology

Background:

Sinus headaches are a common ailment.
Conventional pharmacotherapy is the primary treatment for sinus headaches.
Emerging medical devices show promise as adjunctive therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

To review novel medical devices for sinus headache management.
To assess the potential of these devices as adjuncts to pharmacotherapy.

Main Methods:

Literature review of emerging medical devices for sinus headaches.
Analysis of early data on transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS) and acoustic vibration with oscillating expiratory pressure (AVOEP).

Main Results:

Two categories of devices show early supporting data: TENS and AVOEP.
These devices may be useful adjuncts for sinus headaches not caused by sinusitis.
Initial reports indicate low risk, but longer follow-up is required.

Conclusions:

Novel medical devices represent a potential low-risk treatment avenue for sinus headaches.
Further high-level evidence is necessary to establish efficacy and long-term safety.
TENS and AVOEP warrant further investigation as complementary therapies.
