Coil treatment for chronic migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new procedure that uses tiny coils to block a specific artery in the head, which may help reduce migraine attacks. It is for people who have tried at least two different preventive migraine medicines without success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with migraine (with or without aura).
- You experience at least 8 headache days per month.
- You have tried and not responded to at least two different classes of preventive migraine medications.
- You are able to keep an electronic headache diary and complete surveys.

This study follows adults who undergo a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization—a minimally invasive treatment that blocks blood flow to a specific artery thought to trigger migraines. The trial simply tracks your symptoms and quality of life before and after the procedure to understand how well it works.
This study tests a procedure called MMA embolization (blocking a small artery in the head) to see if it can reduce migraine attacks in people with chronic, hard-to-treat migraines.
This trial tests a procedure called bilateral middle meningeal artery embolization to see if it reduces chronic migraine symptoms in people who haven't found relief from other treatments. It's for those with frequent, disabling migraines that affect both sides of the head.
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 a procedure that blocks a specific artery in the lining of the brain to see if it can reduce migraine attacks. If you have frequent migraines that haven't improved with medication, this might be a new option worth discussing with your doctor.
This trial tests a procedure called coiling (placing tiny coils) to block the blood supply to a chronic subdural hematoma, a slow-growing blood collection around the brain. It may help reduce the need for surgery and improve recovery.
