About this study

In plain language

This study reviews reports from adults ages 18 to 64 with migraine who have had or plan to have MMA embolization, a procedure that blocks a blood vessel near the brain. It tracks changes in headaches, medicine use, daily life, and reported health problems using information already collected during regular care. The study does not change patients’ care.

EMBRACE-OBS is the first phase of the EMBRACE research program. This single-site observational registry accesses and analyzes patient-reported outcome data already collected through routine clinical care from adults with migraine who have undergone or plan to undergo middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization. The study describes changes in headache frequency, headache severity, medication use, migraine-related disability, quality of life, and reported adverse events over time without influencing clinical care.

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