Online yoga may ease High-Frequency migraines without extra drugs
NCT ID NCT07694063
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a 12-week online Hatha yoga program, done at home twice a week, can reduce migraine frequency and pain when added to usual medication. The study includes 60 adults aged 18–65 with high-frequency episodic migraine (at least 1 year of history) who are on stable treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to either continue standard care alone or add the yoga program. Researchers track migraine days, pain intensity, disability, sleep, and mood to see if yoga provides extra benefit.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this could offer a low-cost, accessible add-on therapy to help people with frequent migraines reduce headache days and improve quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial (60 participants) testing feasibility and short-term effects. Results may not apply to all migraine types, and the yoga program may not work for everyone.
