Brain stimulation for migraine pain relief
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have migraine headaches on more than 8 days per month for at least 3 months.

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 trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with long-term nerve pain who also have depression. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce pain and improve mood.
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (rTMS) can reduce chronic nerve pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn’t improved with standard treatments. It may help people whose usual pain medicines are stable but still not working well.
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) — 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.
