Summary

This trial will test a new protocol to manage chronic migraine and investigate biomolecules involved in chronic migraine patients who respond to the protocol.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who have been experiencing chronic migraines for at least one year. It's not suitable for individuals with other types of headaches, those under 18, or pregnant women.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a lifestyle behavior protocol designed to manage chronic migraines and will compare it against a sham (placebo) protocol. The trial also aims to identify specific biomolecules related to the condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral intervention focusing on lifestyle changes rather than medication, significant side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort or stress from changing their habits.
