First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether manual lymphatic drainage, a gentle massage technique, can help people with migraine. Twenty adults aged 20-55 who have at least 4 migraines per month will receive either the massage or standard care. Researchers will measure pain, disability, and quality of life to see if this drug-free approach offers any benefit.

Active substance
manual lymphatic drainage
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a gentle, drug-free physiotherapy option to reduce migraine pain and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply widely. It's early-stage and may show no benefit over standard care.
