ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2026

60 participants

Abstract

This randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation as an add-on treatment to standard detoxification therapy in patients with chronic migraine and medication overuse. The study also seeks to identify sensory and biochemical biomarkers predictive of treatment response.

Conditions: Chronic Migraine, Medication Overuse Headache.

Primary outcome: Number of monthly days with moderate-to-severe headache.

Enrollment: 60 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 60 participants or records.
