Migraine prevention with a supraorbital transcutaneous stimulator: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To assess efficacy and safety of trigeminal neurostimulation with a supraorbital transcutaneous stimulator (Cefaly, STX-Med., Herstal, Belgium) in migraine prevention.

Methods: This was a double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial conducted at 5 Belgian tertiary headache clinics.

Migraine presenting as chronic facial pain.

We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with chronic facial pain. She was treated with several analgesics, prophylactic medications and infiltrations, but all treatment modalities were ineffective. Finally, the diagnosis of medication-overuse headache complicating migraine without aura was made and an appropriate treatment was initiated.
