Zapping the brain to zap migraines: new study tests 20-Day stimulation
NCT ID NCT05769348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) given for 20 minutes daily over 20 days can reduce migraine pain. About 60 people with chronic migraine will receive either real or sham stimulation, and 20 people with episodic migraine will be observed for comparison. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely decrease the number of severe headache days.
