      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Clients receiving a diagnosis of migraine from internal neurologists, neurologists, or pain specialists will be included in the study in the form of available sampling.
If they meet the before randomization inclusion criteria we generate random numbers from 1 to 99 using a calculator for each client. If the random number is between 1 and 33, the person will be in the tDCS group, if the random number is between 34 and 66, the person will be in the tACS group, and if the random number is between 67 and 99, the person will be in the control group. If each group is completed, the range of numbers will be reduced by one-third (i.e. 1 to 66) and randomization will be done between the remaining two groups, Blinding description: Participants in two intervention groups and one control group are not aware of which group they are in.
The participants of the control group are asked to complete the questionnaires and wait for one month to participate in the research, and during this time they must comply with the condition of not changing the medication prescription.
Once at the beginning and once at the end of the period, the questionnaires would get completed by them and after that, if they wish to continue participating in the research, the treatment will also apply for them.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group No.1: A Group that receives the tDCS protocol and comprises 15 people identified by A code. Anodal tDCS will be applied on their left lobe primary motor cortex (M1) with 2mA intensity for 12 consecutive sessions (three days per week), 20 minutes for each session. Intervention 2: Intervention group No.2: A group that receives the tACS protocol and comprises 15 people identified with B code. Alternative stimulation will be applied on their left lobe primary motor cortex (M1) with 2mA intensity and 10Hz frequency for 12 sessions (three sessions per week), 20 minutes for each session. Intervention 3: Control group: A group that comprises 15 people who don't receive any electrical stimulation. They will be told that they're on the waiting list for treatment. They would be asked to complete the questionnaires at the beginning and the end of a month and not to change their pharmaceutic prescription during this period. After the end of the waiting period, if they would like to continue the remedy process, they will receive the tDCS treatment protocol (because of its frequency in research).</i_freetext>
