Official title
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Pilot Testing of a Behavioral Intervention for Chronic Migraine
Overview
This proposal will involve a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes of a lifestyle behavior protocol in managing chronic migraine. Additionally, the proposal will investigate biomolecules that are uniquely involved in chronic migraine patients who respond to the protocol. Successful completion of this proposal will inform the design of a future full-scale behavioral clinical trial to control chronic migraine.
Interventions
- Behavioral Lifestyle Behavior Protocol
Virtual training on building a skillset to improve lifestyle behavior that reduces migraine attacks - Behavioral Sham Behavior Protocol
Virtual training on the disease of migraine and how migraine can progress to chronic migraine.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of Interested Participants that are Enrolled [Time frame: 12 weeks]
