Could your nose hold the key to your headache?

NCT ID NCT07329127

Summary

This study aimed to see if being sensitive to smells (called osmophobia) is a reliable sign that someone has migraines rather than tension headaches. Over six months, 210 people with either migraine or tension headaches tracked their headaches and smell sensitivity in special diaries. Researchers analyzed the data to see if this symptom could be a useful tool for doctors to tell the two headache types apart.
