Migraine device trial halted early – what we know
NCT ID NCT05843721
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study followed 98 people with chronic migraine who used a device that delivers gentle oscillations inside the nose. The goal was to see if regular use could cut down on severe headache days. The trial was terminated early, so the full results are not available, but the approach aimed to provide a non-drug option for migraine relief.

- Active substance
- Intranasal kinetic oscillation stimulation device
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this device could offer a drug-free option to reduce migraine days for people with chronic migraine.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early, so results are limited. It was also an uncontrolled trial, making it hard to know if benefits came from the device or chance.
