Summary

This study looks at why some people with chronic migraine don't get better with standard treatments. Researchers want to see if a person's level of suggestibility—how easily they respond to suggestions or expectations—might help predict who could benefit from placebo effects. They will use brain scans and psychological tests to compare 100 migraine patients and 100 healthy volunteers.

Who is studied

The study population consists of patients with non-responsive chronic migraine ( NRCM ) attending the Headache Centre of the "Pugliese-Ciaccio" Hospital in Catanzaro, Italy. In parallel, healthy control subjects matched for age and sex will be recruited from the general population, residing in or domiciled in the Calabria region, through institutional advertisements and communications from the Headache and Adaptive Disorders Centre of the same hospital. All participants will undergo clinical screening and, if eligible, will be further assessed at the clinical and neuroimaging facilities involved in the study, including the neuroimaging unit of the IBSBC-CNR located at the "Mater Domini" Hospital in Catanzaro, Italy.
