Read our Migraine research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a percussion massage device called Theragun can help relieve migraine pain better than a compression gel cap worn on the head. Both treatments will be combined with routine physical therapy exercises. The study will measure how much pain decreases, how much your neck can move, and how much your quality of life improves over 6 weeks.
Migraines are painful and disabling, and people often look for quick, non-medication ways to manage them. This study wants to find out whether this treatment can reduce migraine pain, stiffness in the neck, and light or sound sensitivity—and ultimately help you feel better and live more comfortably.

You will come to the clinic 5 days per week for 6 weeks. At each visit, you'll receive either 25 minutes of percussion massage therapy or 25 minutes of compression therapy using a gel cap, followed by 20 minutes of routine physical therapy exercises. Before you start and after you finish the 6 weeks, the researchers will measure your pain level, how well your neck moves, and how migraines affect your daily life.
