Light Exposure, Migraine Outcomes, and Sleep Quality Study

This study is looking at how daily light exposure affects migraine headaches and sleep quality in adults. Researchers want to understand the connection between the light you experience each day, how well you sleep, and your migraine symptoms. If you are an adult who experiences more than four headache days per month and at least three migraine attacks per month, and you work in a private office, you might be able to join. The study will involve placing a dimmable LED floor lamp in your private workspace to create a consistent lighting environment during work hours. The main goal is to see if this change in lighting affects your monthly migraine days over an 8-week period.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 20 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would have a dimmable LED floor lamp placed in your private workspace for 8 weeks. Your monthly migraine days will be measured at the beginning and during the study.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint is measured at Baseline (Weeks 1-4) compared to Intervention (Weeks 5-8), suggesting follow-up during this 8-week period.

What this trial measures

  • Change in Monthly Migraine DaysBaseline (Weeks 1-4) compared to Intervention (Weeks 5-8)

    Number of migraine days per 28-day period as recorded in daily electronic headache diaries. A migraine day is defined as a calendar day with a self-reported migraine meeting International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) criteria. The primary analysis will compare the 4-week baseline period to the 4-week intervention period within participants.
