Summary

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset to practice a type of mindfulness therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can reduce migraine-related disability. About 160 adults with episodic migraine will either continue their usual care or add VR sessions for four weeks. Researchers will track headache days, symptoms, and blood markers to see if the VR approach helps.
