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

Summary

This study tests whether an 8-session self-hypnosis program, delivered online in groups, can help adults with migraines reduce disability and improve well-being. Forty participants are randomly assigned to either the hypnosis training or a waitlist. The program teaches self-hypnosis exercises targeting pain, stress, and anxiety, with audio recordings for home practice. Researchers track changes in migraine impact, mood, and quality of life over several months.
