Summary

This study tests a physiotherapy program that combines neck muscle exercises with a gentle nerve stimulation technique (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation) in 50 adults with migraine. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce pain, improve daily function, and boost quality of life, sleep, and mood. Participants will be followed for several weeks to track changes.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to reduce migraine pain and improve daily function and quality of life.
