Impact of Promoting Physical Exercise on Migraine - a Video-based Randomized Clinical Trial

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2024

307 participants

Abstract

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an educational video program can help reduce migraine frequency and improve migraine-related outcomes in adults with migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the video-based intervention reduce the number of monthly migraine episodes?

* Does it reduce the use of acute migraine medication?

* Does it increase the physical activity levels?

Researchers will compare participants who watch educational videos about physical activity with participants who receive usual care, to see if the intervention has additional benefits.

Participants will:

* Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention or control

* The intervention group will watch seven short educational videos over a period of 3 months

* All participants will complete questionnaires before and after the intervention period to assess migraine impact, frequency, medication use, and physical activity levels

Conditions: Migraine Disorders, Exercise, Health Education, Audiovisual Aids, Surveys and Questionnaires.

Primary outcome: Change in Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) score from baseline to 6-month follow-up.

Enrollment: 307 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 307 participants or records.
