Abstract: Migraine is a neurological syndrome which causes moderate to severe head ache. The migraine headache is associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, pulsating sensationmostly at one side of the head and visual disturbances. Most of the migraines are treated and taken care only at the postdromal stage. Acute migraines are treated with the drugs which causes some gastro intestinal problems, chest pain, reduce in the blood pressure, dizziness. The other method for migraine treatment includes neurostimulation and nerve decompression.This project embraces the use of non-invasive method using a vibration where it is placed at the acupressure points. These points when used in a right manner can relieve Headaches and migraine. The vibration is created by a set of electronic components and arduino where the vibration frequency can be changed manually as per the wish of the patient’s comfort. These readings of frequencies used with respect to the digital samples can be monitored by the external SD card where it can be further verified by the doctor on special cases
