Device: active neuromodulation for episodic migraine headache
Device: placebo neuromodulation for episodic migraine headache
Registration Number
NCT02991430
Lead Sponsor
Scion NeuroStim
Brief Summary

This study will assess the efficacy of a neuromodulation device for the treatment of episodic migraine headache.

Detailed Description

This study is a multi-center, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial for adjunctive prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine headache (with or without aura) using neuromodulation device developed by Scion NeuroStim, LLC (SNS). The investigational use of the device for episodic migraine headache has been reviewed by the FDA and is classified as NSR (non-significant risk).
