Individualized Location-based rTMS for Migraine Treatment: A Multicenter Clinical Study

View on ClinicalTrials.gov Updated Dec 15, 2025

Brief Summary

For migraine patients experiencing at least four attack days per month and undergoing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment, a randomized, double-blind controlled trial is conducted, dividing participants into a traditional targeting group and an individualized targeting group. Patients in both groups are followed up before treatment and at 1, 2, and 3 months post-treatment, evaluating the following parameters: migraine diaries, the number of migraine days, rescue medication usage, headache intensity, the number of moderate-to-severe migraine days, and the proportion of patients achieving a ≥50% reduction in migraine days. Further assessments include changes in the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS), Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24), and 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-14). Biomarker and metabolic analyses include tryptophan and kynurenine metabolism, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), substance P, endothelin-1, inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β1), glutamate, endocannabinoids and related lipids, as well as gut microbiota composition. Additionally, changes in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) before and after treatment are analyzed. This study aims to compare the efficacy of TMS treatment under different targeting strategies in migraine patients, providing theoretical support for clinical applications.

Interventions

Name: Individualized location-based Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Type: DEVICE
Description: Enhancing targeting accuracy through personalized target localization to improve the analgesic response rate of rTMS.
Name: Traditional location-based Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Type: DEVICE
Description: Recent studies have shown that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays an inhibitory role in the human pain pathway. High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the left DLPFC has been found to improve chronic migraine.

Primary Outcomes

Measure: Change in the monthly average number of migraine days
TimeFrame: from baseline to 1 month after treatment completion.
Description: A migraine day: any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache: a migraine with or without aura, lasting for ≥30 minutes, and meeting at least 1 of the following criteria (a and/or b): a) ≥2 of the following: unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate to severe pain intensity, aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity; b) ≥1 of the following: nausea and/or vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. If the participant took a migraine-specific medication during aura or to treat headache on a calendar day, it was counted as a migraine day regardless of the duration and pain features/associated symptoms.
