Healthy volunteers help scientists map Brain's pain pathways for migraine insights
NCT ID NCT06535880
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses brain scans to see how the brainstem and other brain areas respond to mild electrical pulses on the face and arm in 40 healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand the brain circuits involved in facial pain and touch, which could help future research on migraine disorders. Participants must be healthy, suitable for MRI, and free of headache or psychological conditions.
