Summary
This pilot study tests whether Well-Being Therapy, a short psychotherapy focused on building positive mental health, can reduce disability and distress in 30 adults with chronic migraine. Participants will receive either the therapy or a control condition. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can improve quality of life and reduce migraine burden.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Well-Being Therapy (a brief psychotherapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to ease migraine-related disability and improve psychological well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 people) with no blinding, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The therapy may not reduce migraine attacks.
