NCT ID NCT06603493

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how headaches impact sleep, pain sensitivity, and emotional well-being in 132 adults aged 18-65. Researchers measured sleep quality, central sensitization (a heightened pain state), and levels of depression, anxiety, and stress using standard questionnaires. The goal was to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
