What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a neck-focused rehabilitation program can reduce the burden of chronic migraine. Adults aged 18-55 with chronic migraine will be randomly assigned to either an eight-week program of cervical sensorimotor exercises or conventional physiotherapy. The study measures changes in neck muscle activation, joint position sense, and headache impact.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
cervical sensorimotor rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If effective, this non-drug rehabilitation approach could offer a way to reduce migraine burden and improve neck function in people with chronic migraine.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial, and results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires multiple sessions and may not work for all individuals.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female adults aged 18-55 years.

History of migraine for at least 12 months prior to enrolment. Experiencing chronic migraine during the previous three months, confirmed through clinical history and/or headache diary. Presence of cervical sensorimotor impairment, demonstrated by at least one of the following: Increased cervical joint position error. Reduced cervical range of motion. Impaired cervical motor control. Neck pain or cervical dysfunction associated with migraine. Exclusion Criteria: * • Diagnosis of headache disorders other than chronic migraine (e.g., cervicogenic headache, cluster headache, or medication-overuse headache). Previous cervical spine surgery, fracture, or significant cervical trauma. Cervical radiculopathy, myelopathy, or severe cervical spine pathology. Neurological disorders other than migraine (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease). Vestibular disorders affecting balance or proprioception. Inflammatory or systemic musculoskeletal diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis). Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, or cervical rehabilitation within the previous 3 months. Botulinum toxin injections or cervical pain interventions within the previous 3-4 months. Changes in migraine preventive medication within the previous 4 weeks. Skin conditions preventing surface EMG electrode placement. Inability to comply with the study protocol or provide informed consent.
