Summary
This trial tests two virtual treatments designed to improve migraine symptoms. 8 weekly sessions plus an online platform with content and learning are involved. Meds can stay the same during the study. Results may help improve migraine treatment.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with migraines occurring 4-20 days a month, who've had migraines for at least a year. Participants must be fluent in English, able to attend 8 weekly online classes, and willing to keep headache logs. Pregnant women up to 16 weeks can join. Those with heavy alcohol/drug use, other clinical trial participation, meditation experience or unstable medical conditions are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study compares two non-drug virtual treatments aimed at improving life quality for migraine sufferers through an online platform over eight sessions. The effectiveness of these interventions will be evaluated while participants continue their usual migraine medications.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions are non-drug educational programs focused on wellness and brain education delivered virtually, they do not have typical medication side effects; however, individual experiences may vary based on interaction with content.
