Video contributions and written testimonials are presented separately. Individual outcomes differ.
Many of our patients have years behind them of misdiagnoses, frequent changes of doctor, and increasing medication intake - often to the limits of what is bearable.
We check your history carefully before we propose Axomera therapy, for which our patients travel from the entire DACH region and internationally.
Much of what acts "like a migraine" is not. The migraine-like headache is significantly more common in practice than classic migraine — and differs in therapy and prognosis. This differentiation is central to the prognosis under Axomera.
Prognosis under Axomera: tends to require more treatments, often in combination with acupuncture.
Prognosis under Axomera: usually fewer treatment sessions needed.
Episodic means about 1–6 attacks per month. Having more than 15 headache days per month for at least three months is referred to as chronic migraine.
Acupuncture is well evidenced as migraine prophylaxis by several large studies — the evidence base is more robust than for most medication studies. The multicenter study by Diener, Molsberger, Böwing et al. (2006) compared verum acupuncture, sham acupuncture, and standard medication: all three procedures were effective, with similar success rates. A current Cochrane review (2025) confirms acupuncture as an established prevention option.
Combinable with Axomera: Acupuncture (longer-term prophylaxis) and Axomera (acute episodes, rapid regeneration) complement each other well.

Efficacy of acupuncture for the prophylaxis of migraine: a multicentre randomised controlled clinical trial. Lancet Neurol 2006;5(4):310–316.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2025;2:CD015528. DOIAxomera (percutaneous bioelectric current stimulation, PBCS) generates controlled static electric fields in the treatment area within the range of naturally occurring potentials — addressing the "electrical dimension" of inflammation and pain.
For patients, the treatment feels similar to acupuncture — technically it is different: fine probes are placed precisely at the affected tissue and supplied with a patient-specific, physiological electrical signal by a microprocessor. This neurophysiological hypothesis is empirically supported by many patient histories (real-world data), not by controlled studies; as with other indications, around 20–30% of those treated do not respond.
How inflammation and pain are connected →We treat one level deeper — where the body regulates inflammation and healing itself.
We know the established acute and prophylactic therapies from daily practice and advise on them openly — from triptans to beta-blockers to botulinum toxin.
Many patients come to us because they see no perspective in lifelong drug therapy. They strive for a significant reduction in migraine attacks — and this with fewer or no medications.
Our goal is sustained remission of migraine over years.
Every therapy needs its own examination — for us, this includes the Axomera diagnostics and the Axomera therapy.
Documented individual cases from our practice, each with consent. Individual courses vary.
„At 15, the headaches started — first occasionally, then more frequently. From 30, this turned into a migraine, three to five attacks a month. In the middle of an attack, I had my first Axomera treatment, with stimulation points in the upper neck area and at the temple. After about 30 minutes, the pain subsided; after an hour, it was gone. The next attack did not come until two months later — we performed the same treatment again, with the same result. Since then, ten years later, I have been migraine-free.“
Developer of Axomera therapy · Medical Director

Our practice treats exclusively by prior appointment.
The telephone initial assessment is not a treatment and does not replace an examination. Whether Axomera is suitable for you will be decided after a medical examination.
