Nerve stimulation cuts migraines in study

Daily electrical stimulation of a nerve in the forehead may reduce the number of migraines after three months of treatment, a European study found.

The study included 67 participants who suffered an average of four migraines a month. Half received electrical stimulation to the nerve for 20 minutes a day for three months. The other half received a sham form of stimulation for the same duration.
