Exploring the Effect of the Transcendental Meditation® Technique on Migraine Frequency, Intensity, and Functionality: A Single-Arm Study
This research will explore the effect of the Transcendental Meditation® Technique on migraine intensity and frequency. It will be a single-arm pilot study involving 30 participants recruited from migraine treatment facilities and support groups in the US.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility, and effects of the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique in adults with migraines. This study will involve 30 participants recruited from migraine treatment facilities and migraine support groups in the US. The study will span three months, with all participants practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) while continuing their usual lifestyle and medication regimen. Pre-data will be collected through symptom analysis, headache patterns, and evaluation questionnaires. All potential subjects will keep a daily migraine diary for 30 days before inclusion in the study, both to assess migraine status and to adhere to study protocols during the study. All the subjects will receive TM instruction, followed by bi-weekly group meetings and one-on-one sessions for 3 months to monitor progress and ensure correct practice.
