What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking 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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tests a simple 10-question scale designed to help neurologists quickly identify migraine patients who could benefit from physiotherapy. Many migraine patients have neck problems that make their headaches worse, but neurologists often lack time or training to assess this. The scale aims to bridge that gap, potentially improving care for the 439 adults with migraine who will participate.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Doraldo-Castelletti scale (a 10-question screening tool)
What this could lead to
If successful, this scale could become a quick, standard way for neurologists to identify migraine patients who might benefit from physiotherapy, leading to better, more personalized care.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study testing a new tool, not a treatment. The scale may not prove accurate or useful in routine practice, and results may not apply to all migraine patients.

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 70 years (inclusive) * Diagnosis of migraine established by a neurologist specialized in headache disorders * Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) ≥ 42 * Ability to understand the study informed consent * Signed informed consent * Ability to comply with the study procedures Exclusion Criteria: * Neurological diseases confounding the primary objective * Conditions confounding the primary objective (e.g., fibromyalgia, which could limit patient evaluation by the physiotherapist) * Previous physiotherapy treatments specifically for headache management * Psychiatric disorders confounding and/or interfering with the primary objective * Unstable psychiatric illness, cognitive impairment, dementia, or substance abuse compromising the participant's ability to provide informed consent, according to the investigator's judgment * Previous neurosurgical interventions involving the cervical region * Any condition deemed contraindicating study participation according to the investigator's judgment
