Summary
This study tests a device called the PRIMUS System that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate nerves in the head and neck. It is for people with chronic or frequent migraine who have not gotten relief from at least three preventive medicines. The goal is to see if the device safely reduces the number of migraine days per month. About 110 adults will take part.
