First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an 8-week app-based breathing program that uses heart rate feedback to help people with chronic migraine. Thirty adults will use the app daily for 10 minutes, and researchers will track changes in migraine frequency and psychological well-being. The goal is to see if this low-cost, at-home approach is feasible and effective.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient, low-cost way to reduce migraine frequency and improve emotional health without medication.
