rTMS for chronic migraine without recent prevention
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have chronic migraine (15 or more headache days a month for 3+ months).
- You cannot have taken any migraine prevention medication in the last 3 months.
- You should not have untreated depression or be on antidepressants.
- You cannot have a history of seizures.
- You must not be pregnant or have any metal implants in your head or neck (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant).

This study tests whether a tailored form of brain stimulation called rTMS can help reduce migraine days. It may be an option for people with frequent migraines who have not changed their preventive medications recently.
This study tests a non-invasive type of brain stimulation called rTMS for people with frequent or chronic migraine who have not found relief from at least 3 prevention medications. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain.
This study tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation (repetitive TMS) given daily at home to prevent migraines. It may be an option if your migraine medications aren't enough or you want a non-drug treatment.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), guided by magnetoencephalography (MEG), can help people with frequent migraines or tension-type headaches. If you have headaches 15 or more days per month, this treatment might reduce your pain.
This study tests if personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain areas based on your pain patterns works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests if navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help reduce chronic tinnitus symptoms. It aims to find a safe and effective treatment option for people with persistent ringing in the ears.
