Efficacy and safety of transcranial magnetic therapy in patients with migraine in clinical practice
Migraine is a chronic disease accompanying a person for decades and affecting not only health but also his socio-economic status. Magnetotherapy is included in the guidelines on the treatment of migraine. This method is used for relief of migraine attacks while preventive procedures are effective to reduce intensity and number of attacks. We carried out a multiple-center double-blind randomized study of effectiveness of magnetotherapy for preventive treatment of frequent episodic migraine attacks. There were 27 patients with migraine and no aura in the main group and 13 similar patients in the control group. We can emphasize the positive effect of magnetotherapy on the course of migraine including less incidence of attacks, duration of therapy for relief of migraine attacks and severity of anxiety and depression.
