How pain sensitivity relates to migraine types
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures how sensitive your body is to pressure and pain, and connects it to your migraine frequency and daily life quality. Researchers compare two testing methods to better understand why people with migraines feel pain differently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with episodic migraine (occasional attacks) or chronic migraine (15+ days per month with headache)

This study examines how sensitive the skin and tissues around the head are in people with migraines or tension headaches. Researchers will perform gentle touch and pressure tests to understand pain patterns, which may help improve headache treatment in the future.
This study looks at the link between endometriosis and migraine. Researchers want to understand how these conditions affect each other, so they need people with endometriosis, migraine, or both, as well as healthy volunteers without chronic pain.
This study looks at how migraine may start or affect children by comparing young people who either have migraine symptoms or are at higher risk. It may help researchers understand migraine patterns and who could benefit from early prevention.
This study explores how migraine headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain may share similar pain mechanisms in the body. Researchers will ask you questions to understand your pain patterns and help identify connections between these conditions.
This study follows kids who have a specific type of chronic pain (headaches, stomach pain, or muscle/joint pain) to better understand how pain changes over time. It also checks whether certain factors are linked to those pain patterns.
This study measures a substance called CGRP in saliva from people with migraine and healthy volunteers to see how it changes with age and sex. It may help researchers understand migraine better.
