Brain wave study for migraine patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are right-handed.
- You have been diagnosed with migraine by a doctor using standard criteria, or you are a healthy person without migraine or other brain conditions.
- You do not have epilepsy or other seizure disorders.
- You do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or other devices that make TMS unsafe.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not taken certain medications (like anti-seizure drugs or benzodiazepines) in the last 2 weeks.

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 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 tests a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood. It aims to see if TMS can help people with depression by improving how they cope with stress and daily functioning.
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 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 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.
