First and Only\u00a0REN-Based Migraine Treatment Approved in China<\/span><\/p>\n

BEIJING<\/span> and\u00a0NETANYA, Israel<\/span><\/span>, Sept. 30, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Pier 88 Health, a digital health company dedicated to reshaping chronic pain management and bringing breakthrough global medical innovations to Greater China<\/span>, and Theranica, a prescribed digital therapeutics company, today announced that the Nerivio\u00ae\u00a0REN wearable, a novel treatment of migraine, has received regulatory approval from China’s<\/span> National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).<\/p>\n

The registration certificate (\u56fd\u68b0\u6ce8\u8fdb20252090343), issued on August 11, 2025<\/span>, marks the first and only approval in China<\/span> of a wearable migraine device using the Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) technology. This drug-free, smartphone-controlled prescribed therapy provides a clinically validated, self-administered solution for people living with migraine.\u00a0By offering an earlier, non-pharmacological intervention, the REN wearable may help prevent disease progression and reduce the risk of migraine chronification, a key driver of long-term disability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Migraine is a significant public health concern in China<\/span>, with an estimated 130 million people affected, yet limited access to specialized care and heavy reliance on oral medications present substantial barriers for patients and healthcare providers.\u00a0If left undertreated, episodic migraine often progresses to chronic migraine, further increasing disability and healthcare costs. The demand for drug-free, non-invasive therapies is growing, particularly among younger and working-age populations. The REN wearable’s entry into the market is well-aligned with China’s<\/span> shift toward digital health innovation and patient-empowered solutions.<\/p>\n

Pier 88 Health has built a comprehensive, migraine-focused digital ecosystem in China<\/span> that integrates patients, physicians, and advanced technologies. This ecosystem includes TengAI Health, a WeChat-based tool that empowers patients to track symptoms and engage in self-management, and MedLinc, a dedicated mobile app that enables physicians to monitor and support chronic pain patients.<\/p>\n

Leveraging AI, these platforms deliver personalized migraine tracking, treatment recommendations, teleconsultations, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) guidance, lifestyle management, and patient education. Already connected to thousands of headache specialists, neurologists, and pain physicians across China<\/span>, Pier 88 Health is laying the groundwork for rapid education, adoption, and impact of the\u00a0REN wearable nationwide and is leading the charge in modernizing migraine care with this non-drug, digital-first option.<\/p>\n

“This approval not only reflects strong collaboration between our teams but also sets a new standard for patient-centered migraine care in China\u2014empowering patients with earlier, drug-free intervention that reduces long-term disease burden,” said Min Luo<\/span>, CEO and cofounder of Pier 88 Health.<\/p>\n

Dr.\u00a0Xiang Qian, Clinical Professor of Pain Medicine at Stanford University<\/span>, Co-Director of Stanford’s<\/span> Wearable Electronics Initiative and Chief Medical advisor for Pier 88 Health commented: “REN therapy represents an important innovation in neuromodulation therapy. It’s exciting to see a wearable, drug-free solution gaining clearance in China\u2014it aligns with growing evidence in pain medicine that certain neuromodulation technologies are both effective and scalable.”<\/p>\n

“China<\/span> now joins the U.S., Europe<\/span>, India<\/span> and South Africa<\/span> as a key pillar of our global rollout. With extensive real-world use worldwide, Nerivio’s approval underscores its clinical credibility, international scalability and paradigm-shifting potential to free patients from dependency on pills or injections,” said\u00a0Ronen Jashek, COO and cofounder of Theranica.<\/p>\n

The initial approval covers acute treatment of migraine in adults, with future plans to expand to additional indications and patient populations.<\/p>\n
