Summary

This study tests a headband-like device called Nettle that delivers gentle electrical stimulation to parts of the brain involved in pain. Twenty adults with chronic migraine will use it at home for 20 minutes each day over three months. The main goal is to see if people can stick with the treatment and complete daily headache diaries, not yet to prove it works.
