Migraines are a common issue that affect around 15% of people in the US. The pain and discomfort can impact almost every aspect of life.
Migraines can cause severe throbbing and head pain. Many people experience extreme sensitivity to light and sound, along with other symptoms that make it extremely difficult to live life day to day. The Migraine Study is researching the effectiveness of a new potential treatment for migraines in adults. If you qualify and choose to participate you will have access to a new investigational treatment option that may help improve your symptoms.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are 18 years of age or older
- Have had a diagnosis of migraines for at least one year, beginning before age 50
- Experience between 4 to 14 migraine attacks per month
* As a study participant, all study-related care may be provided at no cost to you including the potential treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a research study?
A research study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational drug or device – these may include how well an investigational study drug, or device, works for a certain condition. All medications and devices must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved and prescribed to patients.
Why are research studies important?
A research study is the process by which new and innovative medications, treatments and devices are approved and brought to market, so people can live happier and healthier lives. Even over-the-counter medications, such as NSAIDs, you may have used to counteract a headache, have gone through the clinical research study process before it was available at your local pharmacy.
What is the purpose of the Migraine Study?
The Migraine Study is a multi-center study researching the effectiveness of an investigational migraine treatment for adults diagnosed with migraines.
Is there a cost to participate?
There is no cost to participate in the Migraine Study. If you decide to take part:
- You will receive study-related care throughout the study from a team of experienced doctors and nurses.
- You will receive all study-related care at no cost.
- You may be paid for each study visit you complete.
What else do I need to consider?
The study team will be able to explain more about what the Migraine Study will involve, and it is up to you to decide if you want to take part. Participation in this study is voluntary. Whether or not you decide to participate in this study will not affect your current or future relationships with your doctors.

How far is the research site?
We match you to a research center within a close travel distance from your home. If we are not running the study in your area currently, with your permission, we will keep you in our database and reach out once a research center in your area becomes available. If, at any time, you decided you no longer want your information stored, you can opt out and we will delete your details.
