Daily magnetic brain stimulation to prevent migraines
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of migraine (with or without aura, or chronic migraine) that started before age 50.
- You have at least 4 migraine days per month (on average) for the past 4 months.
- You haven't changed your migraine medications or doses in the last 3 months (or 6 months for some newer injectables).
- You do NOT have metal implants or electronic devices in your head/neck (like a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or deep brain stimulator).
- You do NOT have a history of seizures or a family history of seizures.
- You are willing to track your headaches daily and come to the study visits.

This study tests a non-drug treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain. It aims to reduce migraine frequency by personalizing the treatment to each person's brain. If you have frequent migraines, this could offer a new option without daily pills.
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 trial tests a non-invasive treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, aiming to reduce migraine pain. It is for people with frequent or chronic migraines who have not found relief from at least three preventive medications.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain activity in people with migraine compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the brain's electrical signals differ in migraine, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial tests a magnetic brain stimulation treatment that you can do at home, for moderate to severe depression. It aims to see if this therapy can improve your symptoms without requiring frequent hospital visits.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic pulse treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with long-lasting headaches following a mild concussion. If you are 18 to 55 years old and have had daily headaches for at least 3 months after your head injury, this study may help find a new way to relieve your pain.
