Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in mean monthly migraine days.

    The mean monthly migraine days will be calculated using the monthly migraine days from each of the month of the double-blind treatment phase.

    Baseline and month 1, 2 and 3 post treatment

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Change from baseline in mean monthly migraine attacks.

    Baseline and month 1, 2 and 3 post treatment

  • Proportion of subjects with at least a 50% reduction from baseline in mean monthly migraine days.

    Baseline and month 1, 2 and 3 post treatment

  • Frequency and severity of adverse events in response to rTMS.

    During treatment and up until 1 month post treatment

  • The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21) score changes in migraine patients in response to rTMS.

    Baseline and at month 3 post treatment

  • The Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MIDAS) score changes in migraine patients in response to rTMS.

    Baseline and at month 3 post treatment

  • +11 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 60 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Males or females aged 18 to 60 years of age.
  • Subjects fulfilling criteria for episodic migraine as per the Third Edition of The International Headache Society (ICHD-3) for at least 1 year.
  • Frequency of migraine attacks 2-8 times per month with less than 15 headache days per month for at least 3 months prior to screening.
  • Demonstrated compliance with the headache diary during the run-in period by entry of headache data on a minimum of 24/30 days (80% compliance).
  • A signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study including any known and potential risks and available alternative treatments.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with previous history of rTMS treatment.
  • Onset of headache at more than 50-year-old.
  • Headache with red flags symptoms that may suggest organic secondary headaches.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Patients with contraindications to TMS such as metallic implant and pacemaker based on the Screening 13-item Questionnaire for rTMS candidate.
  • Patients with medical conditions such severe hypertension, infections, malignancy, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy degenerative central nervous system diseases, renal failure, hepatic failure, bleeding diathesis and serious mental illness.
