Mind-Body Intervention for Chronic Migraine Headaches
This study is exploring a Mind-Body Intervention to help people with chronic migraine headaches. The intervention includes regular educational sessions and lectures, along with supplemental reading. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) with a migraine diagnosis, experience migraines at least 5 days a month, and have a moderate impact from your headaches (a score of 50 or higher on the Headache Impact Test-6). The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and to help improve future studies. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 10 participants. It is exploring a mind-body intervention for chronic migraines.
- What's involved
- You would engage in regular 1 to 2 hour educational sessions and lectures, and have access to supplemental reading material. Individualized sessions will also be offered weekly.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your migraine impact will be measured at baseline, 4, 8, 13, and 20 weeks.

What this trial measures
- MIDASbaseline, 4, 8, 13 and 20 weeks
The 7-item Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) is a commonly used and well validated self report survey for assessing migraine-related disability. Questions cover adverse life impacts (missed work, etc.), headache frequency, and headache intensity.
- HIT-6baseline, 4, 8, 13 and 20 weeks
The Headache Impact Test (HIT-6), a well-validated self reported survey, measures the impact of headaches on 6 aspects of health-related quality of life. A recent study has estimated that a change of 6-7 points was clinically meaningful in a cohort starting with a mean HIT-6 score of 65.0 (severe impact). The HIT-6 is a recommended NIH common data element for headache.
