Eligibility criteria

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  • Able and willing to provide
  • Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 84 years at time of consent
  • Documented Chronic Migraine, defined as at least eight migraine days/month, for at least 1 year.
  • Developed migraine before the age of 50
  • Documented failure of 3 or more other preventive therapies (failure meaning ineffective, provoked unacceptable side-effects or ) from which at least 1 of the following 2: CGRP mAbs or Onabotulinumtoxin A
  • Have at least 1 headache free day per month
  • Stable on preventive migraine drugs and alternative treatment for at least three months prior to enrollment.
  • Agree to refrain from starting new preventive migraine drugs or other preventive alternative migraine treatments, from 4 weeks before entering the baseline period throughout the duration of the study.
  • MRI available (not older than 4 years prior to study enrollment) or willing to undergo an MRI to exclude structural lesions potentially causing headache
  • Able and willing to complete a daily headache eDiary

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any other chronic primary or secondary headache disorder, unless they can clearly differentiate them from migraine attacks, based on the quality of pain and associated symptoms.
  • Concomitant neuromodulation
  • Previous failure to an implantable neuromodulation device for neurovascular headache
  • Have an existing Active Implantable Medical Device nearby the implant location (e.g. DBS, cochlear implant, …)
  • Metal implants in the skull (e.g. skull plates, seeds) nearby the implant.
  • Have a pacemaker of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
  • Current Opioid Use, defined as one or more opioids on more than 4 days/month for 3 consecutive months.
  • Use of botulinum toxin injections in the past 3 months.
  • Women of childbearing age who are pregnant, nursing or not using
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety Evaluation

    The primary safety assessment is the incidence of serious procedure- and/or device-related adverse events in all subjects at 30 days and at the end of the study. All adverse clinical events will be collected, coded, and reported, for the duration of the study according to the definitions of ISO 14155:2020.

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Safety Evaluation

    The primary safety assessment is the incidence of serious procedure- and/or device-related adverse events in all subjects at 30 days and at the end of the study. All adverse clinical events will be collected, coded, and reported, for the duration of the study according to the definitions of ISO 14155:2020.

    Time frame: 12 months
