Research Summary
A systematic review published in the journal Neurology International explores the potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for migraines. This non-invasive technique could modulate pain-processing networks associated with migraine, offering an alternative to traditional pharmacological therapies. The review analyzed seven studies with 301 participants, finding that rTMS generally reduced migraine frequency and severity compared to sham treatments, with mild and transient side effects. However, variations in study design, sample size, and protocols complicate the findings. While rTMS shows promise, larger and more standardized trials are necessary to determine its definitive role in migraine management.
