What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Telehealth behavioral migraine management (online modules, telephone sessions, and check-ins)
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could offer a convenient, home-based way to help people manage migraines and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 20 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply widely. The program may not reduce headaches for everyone.
