Devices for Episodic Migraine: Past, Present, and Future.

Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation and spring-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation are both cleared for the treatment of migraine, supported by preclinical studies that validate efficacy and mechanism of action, and complemented with clinical trial data. Other options also authorized for use include transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation and remote electrical neuromodulation. Various options are available to treat migraine using authorized neuromodulatory devices. These data support their efficacy in the treatment of episodic migraine, although further studies are necessary to elucidate their mechanism of action and to provide rigor to clinical trial data.
