ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2025

160 participants

Abstract

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of a new, improved neuromodulation device that can be worn on the head and neck to relieve migraine pain. To measure efficacy, investigators will compare how measured outcomes resulting from active stimulation with this device compare to those of sham treatment.

Conditions: Migraine, Migraine With or Without Aura, Migraine, Acute, Migraine Headache.

Primary outcome: Safety/Adverse Events; Pain Relief at 1 hour (Clinical Efficacy).

Enrollment: 160 participants.
