AHS: Magnetic Pulses Head Off Migraine Cascade - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today
Review
LOS ANGELES, June 23 — When applied during the aura phase of migraine, two pulses from an investigational transcranial magnetic stimulator reduced some symptoms in 69% of patients, according to a pilot study reported here.
When the device works, patients report significant improvement in symptoms, but the device failed to demonstrate pain efficacy compared with sham placebo (P=0.10), Yousef Mohammad, M.D., a neurologist at Ohio State University in Columbus said at the American Headache Society meeting.
