Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Visual Cortex Versus Sham Stimulation in the Episodic Migraine

NCT02122757 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-08-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Anodal tDCS increases the excitability of the cerebral cortex and its daily application during intercritical phase, may have a therapeutic effect in episodic migraine.

Conditions

  • Sporadic Migraine

Interventions

DEVICE

Cefaly tDCS

Cefaly tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) is able to modify cortical excitability, in particular anodal tDCS increases it. The side effects of tDCS are minor, especially sensations of itching and scalp paresthesias.

DEVICE

sham Cefaly tDCS

2mA during 30sec
