Transcranial magnetic stimulation has numerous benefits over drugs, including potentially fewer side effects. It also has utility for a variety of other different disorders. It is also useful as a research tool as it can selectively increase or decrease specific brain regions. Migraines are associated with altered cortical excitability. So TMS can decrease activity in brain regions that are overactive. I think this device is a good step forward for the treatment of migraines.
