Study Summary

Assess safety and efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of migraine with aura The hypothesis is that TMS treatments delivered to the occipital cortex of the brain can stop or interrupt the spreading cortical brain activity that causes or contributes to the migraine headache. Two TMS treatments at an intensity of \<1 Tesla for \~500 microseconds, approximately 30 seconds apart, may stop the aura and prevent the subsequent headache.

Primary Outcome

Number of participants experiencing no pain at two hours post-treatment divided by total number of participants treated. For each treated aura episode during the migraine treatment phase, the subjects rated the pain intensity of their headache as none, mild, moderate or severe at baseline (before application of the study device) at 30 minutes, and at 1, 2, 24, and 48 hours posttreatement.
