NCT ID NCT04936321
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia, combined with CBT for pain, can reduce headaches and improve sleep in adolescents aged 11-17 who have both migraine and insomnia. Participants receive internet-delivered programs focusing on sleep hygiene, pain coping skills, and activity pacing. The goal is to find effective self-management tools that can prevent migraine-related disability from continuing into adulthood.
