The FDA has expanded the indication for use of Tivic Health Systems’ handheld device, ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief, to include congestion from allergies, flu and the common cold.
ClearUP is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that offers congestion relief without the need for medication.
WHAT DOES IT TREAT?
The latest indication is in addition to FDA clearance for treating allergy-related sinus pain caused by seasonal and year-round allergies to treat moderate to severe congestion.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using gentle microcurrent waveforms, ClearUP offer sinus pain and congestion relief to users.
It is used outside the nasal passages, along the cheek, nose and brow bone, and provides low current electrical waveforms which stimulate the nerves under the skin to aid in relieving sinus pain and congestion.
WHAT WERE THE STUDY RESULTS?
Study participants with moderate to severe congestion reported an average 35% reduction in congestion symptoms ten minutes after using ClearUP.
Participants also reported an average 44% reduction in congestion symptoms after four weeks of regular use.
It does so by stimulating the trigeminal nerve, responsible for sensing pain and pressure of the face.
