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.

This study looks at how preventive treatments for severe migraines, like botulinum toxin injections or anti-CGRP antibody infusions, may affect thinking and quality of life. If you have frequent migraines that don't respond to other treatments, you might be able to join.
This study tests a treatment that uses a small device to send mild electrical pulses to nerves at the back of the head, which may help reduce migraine attacks. It is for people with chronic migraine that has not improved with other 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 study tests whether using a small device on the arm that sends gentle electrical pulses (called neuromodulation) can prevent disabling migraine attacks in young people when early warning signs appear. If it works, this could reduce the number of migraine days.
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).
This study tests new ways to monitor how well preventive migraine treatments are working. It is for people with chronic migraine who may be starting or already using preventive medications.
