OhmBody Launches Wearable Device for Menstrual Symptom Relief

New neurostimulation technology offers drug-free relief for period pain, emotional fluctuations, and heavy bleeding.

A new wearable device designed to relieve common menstrual symptoms using neurostimulation has been launched by OhmBody, the women’s wellness division of US-based Spark Biomedical. The device offers a non-invasive, drug- and hormone-free alternative to traditional period pain management methods.

How the Device Works

OhmBody combines stimulation of the vagus and trigeminal nerves via a discreet earpiece. The low-frequency pulses target the body’s natural regulatory systems, aiming to:

• Reduce cramps and heavy bleeding

• Ease digestive discomfort and fatigue

• Support emotional stability during the menstrual cycle

  
  

The dual nerve stimulation helps guide the nervous system out of “fight or flight” mode into “rest and digest,” according to the company, encouraging better physiological balance during menstruation.

Amy Gaston, Vice President of Strategic Growth at OhmBody, said:

“We didn’t create OhmBody to help you ‘power through’ your cycle. We created it so you don’t have to.”

Clinical Results and User Feedback

In clinical trials conducted by the company:

• 88% of participants reported greater menstrual comfort

• Menstrual blood loss was reduced by 55% on average, and by 35% on day one

• 71% felt more emotionally stable during their cycle

  
  

Dr Navid Khodaparast, PhD, co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Spark Biomedical, said:

“Our research demonstrates that targeted neurostimulation can modulate autonomic nervous system activity to help regulate common menstrual symptoms.”

Informed by Science and Lived Experience

The OhmBody device was developed by a team of neuroscientists, engineers, and women with lived experience of menstrual challenges. With the goal to support the body’s own systems rather than suppress symptoms through hormonal or pharmaceutical means.

Pricing and Market Position

The OhmBody Starter Kit is priced at $719 and includes:

• A battery-powered neurostimulation unit

• Seven single-use adhesive earpieces

• A connecting cable and setup tools

  
  

Despite the price point, the device enters a growing market of alternative menstrual care products, distinguishing itself from heating pads, painkillers, and hormonal treatments by targeting the nervous system directly.

Expanding the Use of Neurostimulation in Women’s Health

With the launch of OhmBody, Spark Biomedical expands its proven neurostimulation technology into women’s health, offering a non-invasive, drug-free alternative to conventional menstrual care.

Backed by a recent $15 million funding round and newly granted intellectual property rights, the company is set to accelerate development across neurological and reproductive health.

As femtech advances, OhmBody signals a promising shift towards smarter, body-aligned solutions, heralding a future where menstrual care is shaped by science, innovation, and greater autonomy.
