Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients with GH tumor who have undergone transnasal pituitary tumor resection or craniotomy for pituitary tumor resection in the past (3 months or more), aged between 18 and 60 years old, regardless of gender;
- Preoperative glucose tolerance test (OGTT) simultaneously determines that the trough value of GH is greater than 1ng/ml, and the level of IGF-1 is greater than the upper limit of the age-sex-matched normal value; ③. Biochemical remission is achieved after surgery, that is, the random GH value is less than 1ng/ml, and the IGF-1 level is within the normal range of age and gender matching; ④. The patient still has headaches after the operation, the duration of each attack is more than 4 hours, and the attack is more than 3 times per month; ⑤. The patient is in a headache attack period; ⑥. A clear consciousness, able to understand and sign an informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who are being treated with somatostatin and bromocriptine;
Patients with other intracranial organic diseases;
Pregnant women and children who cannot express;
Patients with other malignant tumors;
Participate in other clinical research in the same period; ⑥. Patients with severe medical complications, such as heart, lung, kidney, liver and other diseases, severe hypertension or poor blood pressure control, hyperglycemia, blood diseases;
Those with mental illness who cannot cooperate well with the experiment;
- Patients with acute infection or open wounds; ⑨. Acetaminophen is contraindicated (hemolytic anemia, severe liver and kidney dysfunction) or allergic to its components; ⑩. Patients with contraindications to transcranial magnetic stimulation: patients or users who have implanted cardiac pacemakers, implantable defibrillators and neurostimulators together; those who have a history of epilepsy; wear electronic products (such as insulin Pumps, Holter, etc.).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
SHAM_COMPARATOR: Simple acetaminophen treatment
Acetaminophen will be taken when patients suffered from headache during the study.
No specific dosage and frequency was required for this group as long as the participants record the exact drug usage.
|
Acetaminophen is used as the painkiller to alleviate patients' headache before and during the clinical trial.
In order to decrease the medication bias, we required these patients to only use acetaminophen instead of other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
In the meantime, participants are requested to recorder the frequency and dosage of acetaminophen they used during the treatment course.
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Simple acetaminophen combined with low-frequency rTMS
Apart from acetaminophen usage, low frequency TMS (1HZ) will be used in patients three times a month for 6 months.

In order to decrease the medication bias, we required these patients to only use acetaminophen instead of other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
In the meantime, participants are requested to recorder the frequency and dosage of acetaminophen they used during the treatment course.
By using different frequency of TMS, the device can generate different effects.
For low frequency, such as 1HZ, it mainly generates inhibition on the brain cortex; while high frequency (usually higher than 10HZ) can generate stimulation effects.
The later one could be used to treat different central nervous disease.

EXPERIMENTAL: Simple acetaminophen combined with high-frequency rTMS
Apart from acetaminophen usage, high frequency TMS (10HZ) will be used in patients three times a month for 6 months.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
changes in the degree of headache
Time Frame: 6 months
|
The degree of headache will be measured by the Visual Analog Scale VAS and the scores change before and after 6 months of intervention will be compared among 3 groups
|
6 months
|
the improvement of quality of life(QOL)
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Migraine Defect Assessment Questionnaire MIDAS will be used to evaluate QOL.
The QOL will be assessed before and after 6 months of intervention and the changes of MIDAS scores will be compared among 3 groups

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The decrease of using acetaminophen
Time Frame: 6 months
|
During the experiment, patients will be required to record the dosage of acetaminophen they used.
Our anticipated secondary outcome is the decreased usage of painkiller in the rTMS treated patients.The total dosage of acetaminophen used in 1st month and the 6th month during the study will be recorded and the changes of the dosage will be compared among the 3 groups.
