At a glance
What it is
TMS for migraine is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique applied as a prophylactic therapy to reduce migraine frequency and severity without medication.
Who it is for
Patients whose migraine is refractory to pharmacological therapy, or who are at high risk of medication overuse headache.
What to expect
TMS sessions are outpatient and require no sedation. Treatment is delivered as a course over several weeks, acting as a preventive rather than acute intervention.
TMS for migraine at Alimran Medical Center
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation method used worldwide to map cortical reactivity and functionally relevant brain regions. In migraine, it has been broadly studied as a preventive treatment with consistently good outcomes.
Pharmacological migraine therapy is divided into abortive treatment of acute attacks and prophylactic prevention. Many patients continue to experience attacks refractory to various prophylactic and abortive therapies, while others are at high risk of medication overuse headache. For these patients, TMS offers a non-pharmacological alternative.
By delivering controlled magnetic pulses to specific cortical areas, TMS modulates the neuronal excitability patterns that contribute to migraine pathophysiology. It acts as a prophylactic intervention — reducing the frequency and severity of attacks over time rather than aborting an acute episode.
