Holroyd’s 2013 study investigated the impact of theta brainwave entrainment on migraine treatment. Theta waves are associated with relaxation and creativity and the study aimed to determine if stimulating these brainwaves could help alleviate migraine symptoms. Participants in the study were individuals diagnosed with recurrent migraines. They underwent sessions of theta brainwave entrainment and reported on their migraine severity before and after the sessions.

The results showed a significant reduction in reported migraine severity after the sessions, suggesting that theta brainwave entrainment could be an effective method for managing migraines. This research indicates that theta brainwave entrainment could potentially offer a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical treatment for migraines. In conclusion, while Holroyd’s 2013 study provides promising evidence for the use of theta brainwave entrainment in managing migraines, further research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and limitations of this approach.
