Summary

This trial studies whether using a device to apply electrical stimulation can reduce pain from Botox injections for migraine prevention.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for chronic migraine sufferers who've been stable on their current headache medication for at least 8 weeks and are receiving Botox injections for prevention. They must be able to follow the study rules and give written consent. People with implanted electrical devices, severe heart conditions, uncontrolled epilepsy, recent changes in migraine meds, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those in other studies can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a device called Nerivio ® can help reduce pain when patients get Botox injections for chronic migraines. Participants will either use this remote electrical neuromodulation device or a sham (fake) version to see which is more effective.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of using the Nerivio ® device may include skin irritation where it's applied, mild electric sensation during use that should not be painful but might feel uncomfortable to some people.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Sham, Then Electrical NeuromodulationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects will first have the sham device applied 20 minutes prior to clinical care onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injection, and continue to wear the device for a total of 40 to 45 minutes at week 12. Subjects will then have the Nerivio ® applied 20 minutes prior to clinical care onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injection, and continue to wear the device for a total of 40 to 45 minutes at week 24.
Group II: Electrical Neuromodulation, Then ShamExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
