Brief summary (from the registry)
This study is being conducted to address the need for effective and well-tolerated interventions in preventing chronic migraine attacks. Chronic migraines significantly impact the quality of life for individuals suffering from them, often leading to substantial discomfort and impairment. By evaluating the feasibility, safety, and acceptance of noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS), researchers aim to determine if this approach can offer a viable solution for alleviating the frequency and severity of chronic migraine episodes. If successful, this study could potentially introduce a promising new treatment option that enhances the well-being and daily functioning of those affected by chronic migraines.
