title: Headache: migraine, magnetic stimulation and cortical excitability.
abstract: A new study indicates that single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation can provide substantial long-lasting pain relief in patients with migraine with aura. The findings suggest that non-pharmacological therapies could be used to successfully abort migraine attacks in patients who find that drug therapies do not adequately control migraine symptoms.
