Green light and brain stimulation for migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining green light therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) can help reduce migraine pain. It may be an option for people with frequent migraines who have not found relief from other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with either episodic migraine or chronic migraine (as defined by headache specialists).
- Your migraine pain has averaged at least 5 out of 10 on a pain scale over the past 4 weeks.
- You do not have a mental illness diagnosis.
- You are not sensitive to light (photophobic) in a way that would cause discomfort or harm during green light therapy.
- You do not have a shunt, implant, or wound on your skull, and you have no history of brain tumors.

This study compares two non-drug treatments—acupuncture and a gentle form of brain stimulation (tDCS)—to see which one helps reduce migraine headaches better. It's for people who have at least 4 migraine days per month and have never tried acupuncture before.
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 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 a gentle brain-stimulation technique called tDCS (which uses a small electrical current on the scalp) can reduce how often you get migraines. If you're already on a preventive medication, this might add extra relief.
This trial is testing whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can reduce headaches in people with chronic migraine. It uses a small, handheld device you control from your phone, and you would track your headaches in an app or paper diary.
