Spinal therapy for women with episodic migraine
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a type of hands-on spinal treatment to see if it can help reduce migraine pain in women who have migraines less than 15 days a month. It may offer a non-drug option for managing migraine symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 30 years old.
- A neurologist has told you that you have episodic migraine (migraines on fewer than 15 days per month).
- Your migraine pain is at least 40 out of 100 on a pain scale.
- You have no other headache types, like tension headaches or headaches from neck problems.
- You are not pregnant and have no serious health conditions like fibromyalgia, rheumatic disease, or spinal disc problems.
- You have not had physical therapy in the last 3 months or nerve block injections in the last 6 months.

This trial looks at the chemical changes in the blood of people with migraine. It aims to better understand the disease and may help find new treatments. You may qualify if you have episodic or chronic migraine and have not tried CGRP-targeting drugs.
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 trial tests whether a combination of physical therapy techniques can reduce migraine symptoms. It may help people whose migraines are not caused by other conditions.
This study tests if gentle hand movements (manual therapy) can help with migraines in women who have gone through menopause. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce migraine pain and improve quality of life.
This study tests if a personalized physical therapy program can help reduce migraine attacks, pain, and fatigue. It may be a good fit if you have frequent migraines and can commit to an 8-week program.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), guided by magnetoencephalography (MEG), can help people with frequent migraines or tension-type headaches. If you have headaches 15 or more days per month, this treatment might reduce your pain.
