Magnetic Fields and Brain Inflammation in Migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether exposure to static magnetic fields (using a special helmet) can reduce brain inflammation and improve migraine symptoms. Researchers believe migraines involve inflammation in the brain, and magnetic fields might help calm this inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 18–65
- Diagnosed with migraine (without or with aura) by a neurologist, with at least 4 migraine days per month
- Migraine diagnosis for at least 1 year
- Willing to come in daily for magnetic field sessions and complete all study procedures
- No severe medical conditions, brain tumors, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or unstable psychiatric conditions
- No implanted metal devices (pacemakers, deep brain stimulators, cochlear implants) or inability to safely lie in a scanner for 90 minutes

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 uses brain stimulation and muscle tests to compare brain signals between people with migraine and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how migraine affects brain activity.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic pulse treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with long-lasting headaches following a mild concussion. If you are 18 to 55 years old and have had daily headaches for at least 3 months after your head injury, this study may help find a new way to relieve your pain.
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.
