Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in VAS score

    Check the change in VAS socre 1 hour after beginning of the TNS session. The VAS scale consists of a total of 11 points, and the higher the score, the greater the pain.

    1 hour after beginning of the TNS session.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Pain Freedom

    1 hour, 2 hours after beginning of the TNS session.

  • Most Bothersome Migraine-associated Symptom Freedom

    1 hour, 2 hours after beginning of the TNS session.

  • Pain Relief

    1 hour, 2 hours after beginning of the TNS session

  • Percentage of Patients With Absence of Photophobia, Phonophobia, Nausea, Vomiting

    1 hour, 2 hours beginning of the TNS session

  • Use of Rescue Medication Between 2 and 24 Hours

    2-24 hours after beginning of the TNS session

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

1-hour trigeminal nerve stimulation with the Elexir (program1), as acute treatment of an early stage migraine attack

Device: Elexir (program1)

Control Group

SHAM COMPARATOR

1-hour trigeminal nerve stimulation with the sham device, as acute treatment of an early stage migraine attack

Device: sham device

Interventions

The Elexir is an external cranial neurostimulator designed for supraorbital neurostimulation, also known as Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation. The Elexir will deliver trigeminal nerve stimulation.

Experimental Group

The sham device will deliver sham trigeminal nerve stimulation.
