Chiropractic Care for Reducing Migraine Frequency and Severity

This is a research study testing whether chiropractic care can help people with episodic migraines (migraines that happen 4 to 13 days per month, not every day). Some people with migraines have neck and shoulder tension too, so researchers wonder if chiropractic treatment might help reduce migraine attacks. Half the participants will receive chiropractic care, and half will receive migraine education online—both groups will continue their regular medical care.

Migraines cause a lot of suffering and disability for millions of people. Many patients want non-medication options or treatments that complement their current care. Because migraines and neck/shoulder problems often happen together, this treatment might be worth exploring before running a larger, more expensive trial.
