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 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 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 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 trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can reduce headache frequency in people with chronic migraine. Participants must be on a stable preventive migraine medication.
This trial tests if transcranial direct current stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation) can help reduce chronic migraine. It uses a smartphone app to control the device and track headaches.
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.
