Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this trial is to test whether an online tailored intervention, Migraine Manager, is efficacious in improving headache outcomes compared to an attention control intervention in adolescents with migraines. We will conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare a sample of 80 youth (ages 11 to 17) with migraine receiving the online tailored adherence intervention to 80 youth in an attention control group. We will test whether adherence to healthy habit (hydration, regular meals, exercise, sleep) recommendations serves as a mechanism for improved headache outcomes. Clinically meaningful outcomes will be assessed by reliable, valid, and sensitive measures. The primary outcome (i.e., number of headache days) will be assessed via online daily diary pre- and post-intervention, with additional follow-up at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Secondary outcomes include health-related quality of life and migraine disability.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Migraine Manager

The Migraine Manager portal intervention is comprised of 16 modules that are assigned in an individually tailored manner to participants based on their answers to a brief assessment battery. Once assessments are completed, a treatment plan consisting of recommended modules is automatically generated for patient and parent guidance, and the user is directed to the list of recommended modules. Participants will also complete online daily diaries for eight weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Migraine Manager

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Answers provided during the online assessment will result in certain intervention recommendations. Once assessments are completed, a treatment plan will be automatically generated for patient and parent guidance.

Attention Control

Participants in this arm will complete the online daily diaries for eight weeks (i.e., equal time as the Migraine Manager arm) through the portal but will be restricted from receiving intervention content; they will also receive equal number of communications via the portal as the Migraine Manager arm. Data from migraine daily diaries will not be available to AC participants or their clinicians as this would likely be used clinically and lead to contamination of the control arm resulting from varying levels of intervention across participants based on their data.
