About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Migraine

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with a history of episodic or chronic migraine with or without aura, meeting the diagnostic criteria listed in ICHD-III beta (2013) section 1, migraine (1), with the exception of ''complicated migraine'' (i.e., hemiplegic migraine, migraine with brainstem aura, ophthalmoplegic migraine- recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy, migrainous infarction)
  • The patient must be experiencing a migraine attack lasting for at least 3 hours, with pain intensity stabilized for at least 1 hour. The location of the headache should be frontal, retro- or peri- orbital, on one or either side.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women
  • Patients having received treatment with onabotulinum toxin (e.g., Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) to the head in the prior 4 months
  • Patients having received supraorbital nerve blocks in the prior 4 months
  • Diagnosis of other primary or secondary headache disorders, except of Medication Overuse Headache
  • Patients with only temporal or occipital headaches
  • Patients taking opioid medications
  • Patients having taken abortive migraine medication in the prior 3 hours
  • Allodynia: intolerance to supraorbital neurostimulation (allodynia) that makes the treatment not applicable (the patients will be excluded while the neurostimulation has already started).
  • Implanted metal or electrical devices in the head
  • Cardiac pacemaker or implanted or wearable defibrillator

Sites / Locations

  • Columbia University Headache Center
