Scientists track the earliest clues of a migraine before pain begins

NCT ID NCT07681466

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study investigates the sequence of early warning signs, called premonitory symptoms, that occur before a migraine headache starts. Researchers will follow 500 adults with migraine who will record their symptoms using an electronic diary for up to five attacks. The goal is to identify which symptoms appear first and how long before the headache they occur, which could help people better predict and manage their migraines.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate clinical changes, and results depend on accurate self-reporting.
