Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcutaneous Occipital Nerve Stimulation in Chronic Migraine: A Pilot-Comparison of Therapeutic and Electrophysiological Effects (I3.008)

Conclusions:Cathodal visual cortex tDCS and tONS may thus be interesting options for the non-invasive treatment of CM. The effect size seems close to that seen with Botox or topiramate, but it remains to be confirmed in a RCT. Only tONS was able to induce recordable changes in visual cortex responsivity.
