Desk workers with migraine: new study probes hidden pain links
NCT ID NCT07554664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how migraine headaches relate to pain sensitivity, work stress, and muscle pain in people who work at desks. Researchers will compare 159 office workers with and without migraine to find connections that could lead to better workplace health. The goal is to understand these links, not to test a treatment.
