Sniffing out migraines: smell sensitivity may be key clue
NCT ID NCT07329127
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study looked at 210 people with migraine or tension-type headache to see if a strong dislike of smells (osmophobia) is a reliable sign of migraine. Participants tracked their headaches and smell sensitivity for six months using diaries and questionnaires. The goal was to understand how common osmophobia is in each headache type and whether it can help doctors diagnose migraine more accurately.
