Chiropractic care for episodic migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether chiropractic adjustments (spinal manipulation) can help reduce the number of migraine days you have each month. You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group gets chiropractic care plus usual care, the other gets a sham (fake) treatment plus usual care, so researchers can see if the real adjustments work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
