OBJECTIVES: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been suggested as an alternative treatment option for migraine. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tDCS on clinical outcomes in addition to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide 38 (PACAP-38) levels in individuals with menstrual-related migraine (MRM) for the first time.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this parallel study, 58 female patients between the ages of 18 and 45 years, including 36 with MRM and 22 with nonmenstrual migraines (nMM), were recruited. Sessions of 2-mA 20-minute anodal tDCS were administered over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex within three consecutive days (1:1 active and sham stimulation). Migraine attack frequency, severity, analgesic usage, CGRP, and PACAP-38 levels of the patients were evaluated before and one month after tDCS.
RESULTS: After tDCS, in the active group compared with the sham group, the frequency (p = 0.031), the severity of attacks (p = 0.003), the number of days with headache (p = 0.004), and the analgesic usage (p = 0.024) were all decreased. In both MRM and nMM groups, the frequency and severity of attacks and analgesic usage were decreased in those receiving active stimulation (p < 0.001 for each). CGRP and PACAP-38 levels were no different in the active group and the sham group after tDCS.
CONCLUSIONS: tDCS was shown to be efficacious in migraine prophylaxis and a valuable option for migraine and MRM treatment. The absence of changes in serum CGRP and PACAP-38 levels suggests that tDCS efficacy may stem from distinct cerebral electrophysiological mechanisms.
