Introducing Migraine
Migraine is a severe neurological disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that are typically throbbing, often unilateral, and accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia).
These attacks can be debilitating, significantly impacting a person's daily life and productivity.
While various medications are used for acute treatment and prevention, many patients still experience insufficient relief or struggle with undesirable side effects.
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) represents an innovative, non-invasive approach being explored for migraine management.
This therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in pain processing and migraine pathways.
Deep TMS offers advantages such as being an outpatient procedure, generally well-tolerated, and having minimal systemic side effects compared to oral medications.
Research indicates its potential in helping to reduce migraine frequency and severity for some patient.
