Neuromodulation and Migraine

Hi All

Do any of you have experience of the use of Neuromodulation in the management of Migrainous headaches?

I had to stop Pizotifen due to joint problems and other than retrying Topirimate ( I had to stop it when I nearly crashed the car, so would have to take time off work ) I think I'm running out of options.

I,m not sure what neuromodulation is but I,m about to try neurotherapy which is supposed to be very effective in reducing/eliminating migraine attacks. I have read a book called the migraine revolution by Martin brink which is brilliant and would reccomend to all migraineurs. I,ve already seen a big improvement in the severity of my attacks and hoping that neurotherapy will see them off for good :)

Hi Ghost...........I lost my job with Migraines.........had em 16 years now. I tried the meds you have. I now take Paroxatine 40mg a day. It helps so much. Even if I miss them a day I'm bad for a few more days. Everybody is different, literally............but give em a go. I was prescribed by Prof Peter Goadsby, top Headache/Migraine specialist.
