Comprehensive Approach to Lifestyle Modification in Chronic Migraine (CALM-Migraine)
31. august 2026 oppdatert av: Ozlem Ulger, Hacettepe University
Investigation of the Effectiveness of a Lifestyle-Based Intervention on Migraine-Related Clinical Outcomes, Neuroinflammatory Biomarkers, Health-Related Lifestyle Behaviors, Body Composition, Autonomic Nervous System Function, Cognitive Function, Self-Efficacy, and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Migraine
Migraine is a highly prevalent neurological disorder and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, substantially affecting quality of life and individuals during their most productive years.
Chronic migraine, defined as headache occurring on ≥15 days per month for more than three months, is a particularly disabling form of the disease.
Physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary behaviors, stress, sleep disturbances, risky substance use, and inadequate social support may contribute to the burden and chronification of migraine.
The CALM-Migraine trial aims to investigate the effects of a comprehensive lifestyle-based intervention in individuals with chronic migraine.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either a lifestyle intervention group or a wait-list control group.
Participants allocated to the lifestyle intervention group will receive an 8-week comprehensive lifestyle intervention alongside their usual pharmacological treatment.
The intervention will consist of supervised exercise training, structured patient education, and peer support sessions delivered under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
It will address the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: physical activity, diet, mental health and stress management, sleep, risky substance use, and social connections.
The study will evaluate the intervention's effects on migraine-related clinical outcomes, neuroinflammatory biomarkers, health-related lifestyle behaviors, body composition, autonomic nervous system function, cognitive function, self-efficacy, and quality of life.
Participants will be followed after the intervention to assess whether the effects are maintained over time.

Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: Lifestyle Intervention Group
Participants in this arm will receive an 8-week comprehensive lifestyle intervention in addition to their usual pharmacological treatment.
The intervention will include supervised exercise training, structured patient education, and peer support sessions and will address the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: physical activity, diet, mental health and stress management, sleep, risky substance use, and social connections.
|
Participants allocated to the lifestyle intervention group will receive an 8-week comprehensive lifestyle intervention alongside their usual pharmacological treatment.
The intervention will consist of 24 individual, face-to-face sessions delivered three times per week under a physiotherapist's supervision.
The intervention will address the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: physical activity, diet, mental health and stress management, sleep, risky substance use, and social connections.
It will include three main components: supervised exercise training, structured patient education, and peer support sessions.
|
|
Ingen inngripen: Wait-list control group
Participants in this arm will continue their usual pharmacological treatment and will not receive the lifestyle intervention during the study period.
They will be asked to maintain a migraine diary throughout the study.
After the study, wait-list control group participants will be offered the same intervention protocol as the lifestyle intervention group, in compliance with ethical standards.

Tiltaksbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Migraine severity
Tidsramme: Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)
|
Migraine severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
For each migraine attack, participants will indicate pain intensity on a 10-cm horizontal line anchored from "no pain" to "worst imaginable pain."
The distance from the left endpoint to the participant's mark will be measured in centimeters, with higher values indicating greater migraine severity.
Participants will prospectively record migraine severity for each attack in a migraine diary throughout the study.

Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)
|
|
Average Attack Duration
Tidsramme: Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)
|
Average migraine attack duration will be determined using prospectively recorded migraine diary data.
Participants will record each migraine attack duration in hours, and the average attack duration will be calculated for the relevant assessment period.
|
Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)

|
Total Number of Attacks
Tidsramme: Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)
|
Participants will prospectively record each migraine attack using a migraine diary throughout the study.
The diary records will determine the total number of migraine attacks for each relevant assessment period.
|
Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)
|
|
Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS)
Tidsramme: Baseline (T0), post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), 3 months after baseline (T2), and 6 months after baseline (T3)
|
Migraine-related disability will be assessed using the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire.
The MIDAS total score is calculated by summing the first five items, which assess the number of days with missed or reduced productivity at work or school, in household activities, and in social or leisure activities during the previous 3 months.
Higher total scores indicate greater migraine-related disability.
