The efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation on migraine: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trails.
Journal of Headache and Pain 2017 August 23
OBJECTIVES: As a non-invasive therapy, whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is effective on migraine. This article was aimed to assess the efficacy of TMS on migraine based on randomized controlled trails (RCTs).
METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library electronic databases for published studies which compared TMS group with sham group, conducted a meta-analysis of all RCTs.
RESULTS: Five studies, consisting of 313 migraine patients, were identified. Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation is effective for the acute treatment of migraine with aura after the first attack (p = 0.02). And, the efficacy of TMS on chronic migraine was not significant (OR 2.93; 95% CI 0.71-12.15; p = 0.14).
CONCLUSIONS: TMS is effective for migraine based on the studies included in the article.
