NCT ID NCT07519343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why migraine and endometriosis often happen together in women. Researchers will follow 150 women over several menstrual cycles, tracking symptoms and taking blood samples. The goal is to find differences in a molecule called CGRP and hormone patterns that may explain the connection, which could lead to better diagnosis and care.
