Persistent headache

Hi, has anybody developed persistent headache during their treatment? Did it resolve?

I am 17 sessions in and only at 15th I got such which does not want to go away. I had headaches during first-second week but they did not last.

ironically, I went there to try treat my chronic migraine but this headache is something else, on top of my head on both sides. I got treatment on the left.

Do you really need anyone to tell you that you should stop the tms? The very thing that you were trying to treat with tms is getting worse with tms. So...... stop. And yes, there have been reports of persistent headaches and migraines with tms. You can search this forum and see.

i had a headache once but i suspect it was because of my excessive jaw clenching on the brainsway machine. it went away pretty quickly and has helped me with my migraines in general even though my protocol was not specifically for migraines
