This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for migraine treatment. The results showed that tDCS activated or inhibited specific brain areas could reduce the number of migraine days per month in patients with migraine. tDCS was found to be an effective, preventive, and safe treatment option for migraine.
Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising method for migraine treatment. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of tDCS for migraine by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to December 02, 2021 for RCTs reporting tDCS for migraine treatment. Two authors independently evaluated the eligibility of the retrieved trials and extracted relevant data. Outcomes for the quantitative synthesis were reduction in migraine days per month and adverse events. Results Eleven RCTs that included 425 patients with migraine were evaluated in the meta-analysis. The efficacy and safety of anodal or cathodal stimulation targeting different brain areas, including primary motor cortex (M1), primary sensory cortex (S1), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and visual cortex (VC), were assessed in the RCTs enrolled. We found that tDCS with M1 and VC activation could reduce No. of migraine days per month in patients with migraine. Meanwhile, tDCS with VC inhibition could also reduce No. of migraine days per month in patients with migraine. However, there were no differences in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups. Conclusion tDCS activates M1 or activates/inhibits VC which could improve migraine symptoms. tDCS is an effective, preventive, and safe treatment for migraine.
