Study summary

This study evaluates the use of brain activity monitoring for prediction of migraine attacks in an expected time scale of 12-48 hours prior to the migraine attack.

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted in one are. Participants diagnosed with migraine, will be evaluated for their EEG characteristics as well as daily migraine related clinical and general status. Participants' monitoring will be conducted for 20 times for a duration of one month.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Measurements of brain electrical signal in Micro volt.

    Measurements of brain electrical signal in Micro volt will be quantified by an algorithm and correlated to reported migraine cycle (as reported by migraine patients in questionnaires).

    Time frame: 1 months
