Migraine may alter how you imagine movement
NCT ID NCT07546201
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether people with migraine have different motor imagery abilities—like mentally picturing movements—compared to healthy people. Researchers will use questionnaires, mental timing tests, and brain scans to measure these abilities. They also want to see if these skills relate to balance, body awareness, anxiety, or depression in migraine patients. The goal is to better understand how migraine affects the brain and body beyond just headaches.
