Conditions

Migraine

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of trigeminal nerve electrical stimulator on reducing the frequency of migraine onset. It is applied to migraine patients and analyzes the results by comparing them before and after 4weeks.

Detailed description

* Duration of study period (per participant): Screening period (-6\ 0weeks), Intervention period (4weeks). * Patient needs to visit site at least 3 times (Screening, Baseline, V4), V2 can be done with screening visit. V3 is tele-Visit. * The clinical trial device performs a personal electrical stimulation around the trigeminal nerves for 4weeks (6 times/week), 20 minutes each time. * During the study period, examination and treatment methods are carried out in the same way.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in the number of headache daysbaseline, 4 weeksCheck the number of headache days in 4 weeks after the start of stimulation compared to the baseline
Change in the frequency of headache daysbaseline, 4 weeksCheck the frequency of headache days in 4 weeks after the start of stimulation compared to the baseline
Change in the frequency of taking the acute phase drugbaseline, 4 weeksCheck the frequency of taking the acute phase drug in 4 weeks after the start of stimulation compared to the baseline
Change in the headache effect assessment (HIT-6) scorebaseline, 4 weeksCheck the change in the headache effect assessment (HIT-6) in 4 weeks after the start of stimulation compared to the baseline
Change in the migraine-related quality of life (MSQ 2.1) scorebaseline, 4 weeksCheck the migraine-related quality of life (MSQ 2.1) change in 4 weeks after the start of stimulation compared to the baseline MSQ 2.1 measures the impact of migraine across three essential aspects. The MSQ total and scale score varies between 0 and 100 with higher scores indicating higher impact.
