NCT ID NCT06229834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether chiropractic care can help people with episodic migraine (4-13 migraine days per month). Sixty adults aged 18-65 will receive either personalized chiropractic care or headache health education. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is feasible, but researchers will also track changes in migraine days and severity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Chiropractic care (spinal manipulation, exercises, relaxation techniques)
What this could lead to
If this pilot shows promise, it could lead to a larger study that may confirm chiropractic care as a non-drug option to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (60 people) focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. Results may not be generalizable, and individual responses to chiropractic care vary.
