Neuromodulation implant for chronic or frequent migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new implantable device that uses mild electrical pulses to prevent migraines. It is for people who have tried at least three migraine prevention medicines without success and still have frequent migraines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new medicine called IPN10200 to see if it can prevent episodic or chronic migraine. It is for adults who have had migraine for at least a year and have tried at least one preventive treatment before.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) — a noninvasive treatment using magnetic pulses on the head — can help prevent and treat chronic migraine pain. It may be an option for people who have never tried or are currently off migraine prevention medicines.
This trial studies a migraine device (the ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy System) to help people with frequent migraine headaches. It may be a good option if you’ve tried common migraine preventions but they didn’t work for you, weren’t safe, or you couldn’t take them.
This trial tests a treatment called occipital nerve stimulation, which uses a device to send gentle electric pulses to nerves at the back of your head. The goal is to see if it can help people who have not found relief from other migraine treatments.
This trial tests if a device that stimulates nerves on your face and the back of your head can prevent chronic cluster headaches. It may offer a new treatment option if you have had cluster headaches for at least a year.
This trial tests if a gentle nasal stimulation device can help prevent migraines. It is for adults with frequent migraines (at least 8 days per month).
