Summary

This pilot study tests whether a 7-week virtual lifestyle medicine program can help teens aged 14-18 with frequent migraines. Participants attend weekly group sessions covering sleep, nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and social connection. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and if it shows any hint of improving headache symptoms.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Lifestyle medicine group sessions (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a non-drug approach to reduce headache frequency and severity in teens.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants and no control group, so results may not be generalizable. It focuses on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness.
