Brief Summary  

Title: Effect of intermittent theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment of chronic migraine: A double-blind sham-controlled Introduction

Migraine is characterized by episodes of headaches, usually unilateral pulsating, associated with photophobia, phonophobia, nausea and/or vomiting, typically lasting 4-72 hours. There is growing evidence of the effective use of transcranial magnetic stimulation using stimulation over the left prefrontal cortex. Recent evidence suggests the effective use of theta burst protocol on the left prefrontal cortex, reducing the severity and frequency of migraine episodes. We aim to explore the effectiveness of a theta burst protocol in managing migraines in our institute using a randomized, sham-controlled design.

Aim and objectives: to assess the efficacy of adjunctive prophylactic use of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on left DLPFC in a patient with Chronic migraine.

Methodology: The participants undergo observation and assessment for two weeks to determine their migraine pattern. Following this, the intervention started using the protocol:

a.     Stimulus intensity: 80% of Resting Motor threshold (RMT), Frequency-50 Hz, Burst frequency-5Hz.

b.     A total of 1000 pulses are delivered in 20 cycles.

c.     Number of sessions: 5 sessions in 5 days.

d.     Patient assessed for any rTMS-related side effects (i.e., rTMS induced Headache)

the patient is assessed for severity, intensity, and duration of migraine by MIDAS, Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), Pain Numbering Rating Scale (NPRS) and migraine dairy in the 4th, 6th, and 12th week of the post-intervention period.

Participants recruited by purposive sampling A total of 60 participants (30 in each group) were randomized by block randomization, resulting in active and sham-controlled groups. The active arm received true stimulation, while the controlled arm received only sham protocol.

Participants are to be assessed with the help of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Migraine Disability Scale (MIDAS), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and Headache Impact Test-6.

We hypothesised that the theta burst stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex effectively reduces migraine episodes in terms of severity, frequency and duration.
