Official title
The Efficacy of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment on Decreasing the Severity of Migraine Headaches
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this study the investigators hypothesize, that Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) will reduce migraine disability and severity scores when compared to standard of care including prophylactic pharmacological agents with treatment over 12 week time frame. The investigators aim to decrease severity and disability of migraine by utilizing Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy. This would ultimately reduce the utilization of office or emergency department visits, decrease the large economic burden the United States faces for migraine patients as well as improve quality of life for the 3 million chronic migraine patients.
