This study tests different behavioral (non-medication) approaches to help manage chronic migraine. You'll work with researchers to find which approach works best for you, with the option to switch strategies if needed.
This trial is testing new approaches for people whose migraines haven't improved with multiple preventive treatments. The goal is to find better options for those with hard-to-treat migraine.
This study uses brain scans (PET) to look at how the body’s “opioid” pain system works in people with migraine. It may help researchers understand migraine biology and test approaches that could improve migraine treatment.
