NCT07015125Completed
Evaluation of a Wearable Device for Acute Treatment of Migraines
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Device for the Acute Treatment of Migraine
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Oct 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of a new, improved neuromodulation device that can be worn on the head and neck to relieve migraine pain. To measure efficacy, investigators will compare how measured outcomes resulting from active stimulation with this device compare to those of sham treatment.
