  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In plain language

This 8-week study looks at how daily light exposure is linked to sleep quality and migraines. It is for adults with migraines, whether or not light bothers them.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between daily light exposure patterns, sleep quality, and migraine characteristics in adults with migraine, with and without photophobia, across an 8-week study period.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
