Research Summary
A recent study published in Headache explored the use of remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) to reduce pain during and after onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) injections, a common treatment for chronic migraine. The randomized, sham-controlled study involved 80 adults and revealed that applying REN significantly lowered pain scores by 15 points during injections and 19 points post-procedure compared to sham and baseline conditions. Moreover, REN reduced post-procedural headaches, with only 15% of REN users affected versus 55% in the sham group. With no additional adverse events reported, REN offers a promising noninvasive method to enhance comfort during migraine treatments.
