Clinical Trial Summary

We design this pilot, single arm study to explore the safety and efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for the treatment of chronic migraine. The hypothetical control group is pooled sham group in latest meta-analysis. We expect a significant improvement of the outcome measures during and after the treatment as compared to the hypothetical control group.


Clinical Trial Description

After a 28-day prospective baseline period using a headache diary to record headache symptoms and any abortive medications used, subjects who meet diagnostic criteria for chronic migraine and don't meet the exclusion criteria will receive rTMS for 4 weeks. The outcome measure will be evaluated at 4 weeks. During the whole trial period, any adverse events are requested to be recorded in the headache diary for analyses. The primary outcome is 50% reduction in the number of days with headache. 50% reduction as assessed by migraine days, moderate/severe headache days, the mean VRS, and conversion to episodic migraine, SGIC, the change from baseline HALT-28, HIT-6, and MSQ v2.1, are used as secondary outcome measures for exploring other benefits associated with treatment. ;
