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 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 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 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 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 tests whether repeated magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatment. Participants must be taking a specific antidepressant and be right-handed.
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.
