Nose zap might stop migraines before they start
NCT ID NCT07279623
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a small device placed inside the nose that delivers gentle stimulation to prevent migraines. 110 adults with migraines will use the device at home every other day for six weeks. Researchers will track how many migraine days they have compared to a group that starts treatment later. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach is safe and effective for migraine prevention.
