Migraine is the commonest chronic neurological disease. Migraine is one of the five main causes of inability to work and impairments to quality of life. Various noninvasive neuromodulation methods have been found to be effective in different types of migraine in recent years. This articles presents an analysis of clinal studies and analyzes clinical cases demonstrating the efficacy and safety of noninvasive stimulation of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve in migraine.
