NCT ID NCT07419607
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a group therapy program for teens aged 13-17 with migraine. The program combines high-intensity interval training, progressive muscle relaxation, and education over 18 weeks. Researchers want to see if it reduces headache frequency, pain, and the need for medication. The goal is to offer a non-drug treatment option that is easy to stick with.
