sTMS machines that help people with Aura migraine

Has anyone here tried one of these? There is an artical on www.bbc.co.uk about it. To find the artical it is easiest to just word search migraines on the home page and it is about the 2nd or 3rd one down.

It sounds like the and held versions are experimental, but it mentions big machines in hospital and I thought some of us might have experience of those.

Di, MAA are checking these out and have made a comment on their web page about them.

I'd love one about now! Got a stinker on. Stuck at work until aura subsides enough to get home without falling under a bus. Terribly hungry but too nauseous to eat, so dehydrated and low blood sugar which doesnt' help the old migraine - woo hoo!

Only for aura migraine it seems, no good for me.
Sorry you feel so bad.

I thought they meant that the extra benefit was that it would help people with aura that havn't had any effect with meds, but that it helped others too, or have I got that wrong?

Thanks for the other link, I will look it up.

I couldn't find the comments. Do I have to pay for the newsletter to get them?

I haven't been able to try one, but have seen one and talked with some of the researchers for it and people from Neuralive, the company that makes it.

It's in clinical trials for FDA approval. The only way to get one now is to be in the clinical trials. Phooey!

The FDA has been changing their regulations about medical devices, and the TMS unit approval seems to be delayed by all of that.

The trial results so far have been excellent. It works well to abort a Migraine with aura. The trials now are studying if it will also work on Migraine without aura.
