Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the Cefaly® device as an acute treatment of migraine attack in adult patients. The patients will be applied either an active or placebo external neurostimulation for 1 hour during a migraine attack, and will report the pain on a visual analog scale before and after the treatment.
