Randomized Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical and Neuronal Changes in Chronic and Episodic Migraine Patients After Neurostimulation
Currently, successful prevention of migraine is not sufficiently achieved by (prophylactic) drug therapy. In contrast, neurophysiologically guided treatments might provide an alternative avenue, since these can normalize brain alterations without side effects. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) appears useful in the acute and prophylactic treatment of migraine, probably because of its modifying and re-balancing influence on neuronal activity. Yet, to test for the efficacy of tDCS in a clinically acceptable way, it is necessary to apply not only tDCS but also a "sham" placebo, which is often neglected in tDCS stimulation studies. Further, tDCS needs to be applied in a large (n > 20) sample of well-defined migraine patients, which would be advantageous, compared to previously published work. Monitoring sources of regional neuronal alterations in migraineurs prior and after tDCS is essential to investigate physiological mechanisms of tDCS. There is an increasing interest towards non-pharmacological treatment alternatives for migraine (and headache disorders) with reduced side effects to established prophylactic medications. The primary outcome of this project is to demonstrate that repetitive sessions of neurostimulation lead to a significant and permanent reduction of the primary symptom severity (i.e. migraine attacks) for patients suffering from chronic and episodic migraine. Since neurostimulation tools are nowadays accepted as therapeutic tools, our study might provide evidence that tDCS can be a non-pharmacological alternative for treating migraine.
