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 a simple technique called carotid sinus massage performed while you're positioned on a tilted table to see if it can quickly relieve migraine and tension headaches. The treatment involves gentle massage to a specific area of your neck for just a few seconds. Researchers want to understand whether this approach actually works better than a sham (fake) massage, or if the relief comes simply from the touch and positioning.
Many people with migraines and tension headaches need faster relief during painful episodes, and current treatments don't work for everyone. This trial exists to explore whether this simple, non-medication technique could offer a quick, safe way to reduce headache pain.

If you enroll, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either the real neck massage technique or a sham massage while lying in a tilted position. The procedure takes just a few minutes—your pain will be measured before and after, and your vital signs will be monitored. If you're in the sham group and don't feel relief, you'll be offered the real treatment or other pain relief options afterward.
