Scientists probe immune link to migraine in autoimmune patients

NCT ID NCT06426316

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

Summary

This study looks at how immune cells and inflammatory molecules differ in people with migraine, especially those who also have autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or endometriosis. Researchers will compare blood samples from 396 women to measure regulatory T cells and cytokines. The goal is to better understand the biological mechanisms behind migraine, which could eventually lead to new treatments.
