Devices dedicated to alleviating headache pain are on the rise
Trend - An offshoot of the de-stressing movement within the recent wellness wave, alleviating headaches is a renewed focus in this space. The typical over-the-counter painkiller is not the focus of this new iteration of headache relief. Instead, a technology-fueled approach is seen.
Insight - Different types of wellness have come into focus for consumers over the past few years. Though there has been an increased focus on mental wellness and de-stressing -- and more particularly, improving wellness without the use of medications -- these new attitudes will eventually impact more traditional health focuses, such as headaches. This cyclicality calls for new ways to alleviate old issues.
