New scale could help migraine sufferers get the right therapy faster

NCT ID NCT07626307

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

Summary

This study tests a simple 10-question scale designed to help neurologists quickly identify migraine patients who could benefit from physiotherapy. Many migraine patients have neck problems that make their headaches worse, but neurologists often lack time or training to assess this. The scale aims to bridge that gap, potentially improving care for the 439 adults with migraine who will participate.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Doraldo-Castelletti scale (a 10-question screening tool)

What this could lead to

If successful, this scale could become a quick, standard way for neurologists to identify migraine patients who might benefit from physiotherapy, leading to better, more personalized care.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study testing a new tool, not a treatment. The scale may not prove accurate or useful in routine practice, and results may not apply to all migraine patients.
