What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a lifestyle behavior protocol designed to manage chronic migraine. Participants will be involved in either a lifestyle behavior protocol or a sham behavior protocol to evaluate outcomes related to chronic migraine. Additionally, the study will explore specific biomolecules in chronic migraine patients who respond positively to the intervention. The findings will help shape a future full-scale behavioral clinical trial targeting chronic migraine control.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could provide a non-pharmacological approach to effectively manage chronic migraine symptoms.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using lifestyle interventions for migraine management, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
