Cranial electrotherapy stimulation may be a safe adjunct to medical treatment for pain
relief in migraine patients. However, despite the number of CES studies done, many have been
open label, single blinded, or have utilized a small group of patients.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of the Fisher Wallace Cranial Stimulator in persons
with chronic migraine who have not achieved satisfactory pain control on their current
medications.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects satisfying the IHS criteria for migraine
- Subjects have not achieved satisfactory pain control on their current medication
- Ability to maintain a daily headache diary
- Stable medication use related to migraine for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment in
the study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous exposure to or experience with CES
- Contraindications to Fisher Wallace stimulator, such as cardiac pacemakers or
implantable defibrillators, known or suspected heart disease, or pregnancy
- Seizure disorders
