Summary

This study looked at whether adding TENS (a device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin) and exercise to usual migraine medication can reduce pain and disability in women with migraine. Thirty-eight women participated, all continuing their prescribed meds. The goal was to see if these add-ons improve pain, muscle strength, sleep, balance, and quality of life.

Active substance: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device and exercise training
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease migraine pain and improve daily function for women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effects may be modest and need confirmation in larger studies.
