Stimulating discussion: neuromodulation for migraine in pregnancy.
Article in Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewNoninvasive neuromodulation is a promising nonpharmaceutical option in migraine treatment during pregnancy due to its well-established safety and efficacy profile in the general population and versatility as adjunctive/alternative therapy to medication. We discuss: the current pivotal trials on neuromodulation for migraine treatment in general and pregnancy populations, why neuromodulation may be unknown and underutilized among clinicians, and neuromodulation's future for migraine in pregnancy. RECENT
findingsEvidence for neuromodulation use during pregnancy is limited, especially for migraine treatment. Contributing factors include the exclusion of pregnant women with migraine from clinical trials, the lack of nonpharmaceutical use data in epidemiological studies, and limited research funding. Evidence can be improved through advocacy by professional organizations, systemic funding, and increased patient awareness. Limited clinician knowledge, awareness, and access may contribute to underutilization. Education, insurance coverage advocacy, and multidisciplinary approaches to migraine treatment in pregnancy are needed. SUMMARY: Neuromodulation may already represent a clinically meaningful nonpharmacologic alternative for treating migraine during pregnancy. Neuromodulation offers precision therapy, clinical data tracking, and the potential to treat multiple pregnancy health conditions. Despite its safety potential, it remains underutilized. Increased research, clinician education, and multidisciplinary care could support broader adoption.
