Battling Migraines From the Inside and Out including a noninvasive portable transcranial magnetic stimulator (TMS) from
Neuralieve, an emergent neurotechnology venture. They claim...
Neuralieve has developed the first portable "home-use" TMS Treatment System. The first application will be migraine therapy. Neuralieve's TMS Treatment system is used to stimulate the brain's occipital cortex, inducing a signal that is intended to disrupt cortical spreading depression (CSD), the abnormal brain waves which precede migraine. Scientific experiments have suggested that disrupting the wave of CSD may reduce or eliminate the pain associated with a migraine episode.
Still more R&D to be done, of course, but this is a very compelling suite of developments.
