Article Synopsis
- Migraine is a significant health issue with long-lasting effects, and while non-invasive brain stimulation treatments show promise, a comparison of their effectiveness has not been fully researched.
- This study analyzed data from multiple trials to determine the efficacy of three treatments—rTMS, tDCS, and nVNS—specifically looking at how they help reduce migraine frequency and impact on daily life.
- The findings revealed that tDCS significantly outperformed both rTMS and nVNS in reducing monthly migraine frequency and pain intensity, indicating it may be the most effective option for preventive treatment, although further direct comparison trials are necessary.
Background: This study is aimed at to establish an effective prognostic nomogram for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: The nomogram was based on a retrospective study of 977 patients with AF and ACS who underwent PCI who were admitted to any of the 11 tertiary hospitals in the Beijing area between 2009 and 2015. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were determined by a concordance index (-index) and calibration curve and were compared using current risk scores such as GRACE, CRUSADE, CHADS-VASc, and HAS-BLED.
