Key finding
The frequencies of migraine attacks and seizures significantly decreased in the taVNS group from baseline to 24 weeks (migraine attack frequency, p = 0.002; seizure frequency, p = 0.004), and so did in Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score (p < 0.001) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score ...
