What this trial studies

This trial tests a biopsychosocial approach called basic body awareness therapy for adults with migraine. Participants will undergo a structured body awareness program alongside lifestyle recommendations, with outcomes measured before and after an 8-week period. Changes in functional status are tracked with MIDAS, sleep quality with the Jenkins Sleep Scale, and overall quality of life with the Headache Impact Test. The study is conducted at Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, with adults aged 18–55 who experience at least three migraine attacks per month. Interventions include exercise and standard therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced migraine-related disability, better sleep, and improved quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in headache treatment supports the potential of biopsychosocial approaches like body awareness for improving symptoms.
