Brain training for frequent migraines
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests neurofeedback, a brain training technique, to see if it can reduce how many migraine days people have. It may help people with frequent migraines, but not those with chronic migraines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need a diagnosis of episodic migraine (with or without aura) from a doctor.
- You have had 5 to 14 migraine days per month for the past 3 months.
- You must not have chronic migraine (15 or more headache days per month).
- You must not have had severe psychiatric conditions treated in the last 6 months, or any brain injury or neurological condition that makes neurofeedback unsafe.

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.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset to practice mindfulness can help people with migraine. If you have migraine about 4-10 days each month and are already on a stable preventive treatment, this might be a way to add relaxation skills without new medications.
This trial uses EEG (brain wave) tests to see if mindfulness therapy, added to your regular treatment, helps people with frequent migraines (8–14 headache days per month). You will have brain scans before and after mindfulness sessions to look for changes that show it's working.
This study tests whether using virtual reality neurofeedback can help teens with migraine. You would wear a VR headset and learn to control your brain's activity to reduce headache frequency.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain activity in people with migraine compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the brain's electrical signals differ in migraine, which could lead to better treatments.
This research study compares brain structure and psychological traits in people with chronic migraines that don't respond well to standard treatments versus healthy volunteers without migraines. Understanding these differences may help doctors develop better treatment options for difficult-to-treat migraines.
