Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Does the video-based intervention reduce the number of monthly migraine episodes?
* Does it reduce the use of acute migraine medication?
* Does it increase the physical activity levels?
Researchers will compare participants who watch educational videos about physical activity with participants who receive usual care, to see if the intervention has additional benefits.
Participants will:
* Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention or control
* The intervention group will watch seven short educational videos over a period of 3 months
* All participants will complete questionnaires before and after the intervention period to assess migraine impact, frequency, medication use, and physical activity levels

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group
Participants in the control group received usual care provided by their healthcare professionals, with no additional educational materials or interventions related to physical activity. This group did not receive the video-based educational program. Throughout the study, preventive and acute treatments were maintained according to standard clinical practice. Participants completed the same assessments as the intervention group at baseline and follow-up, including questionnaires on migraine impact, frequency, medication use, and physical activity levels.
No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention group
The intervention consisted of a series of seven short, pre-recorded educational videos delivered over a 3-month period. The videos focused on the benefits of regular physical activity for individuals with migraine and included practical strategies to increase daily activity levels. The content was evidence-based, developed with input from healthcare professionals, and tailored to migraine management. Participants received access to one video approximately every two weeks via email or online platform. The videos aimed to improve awareness, motivation, and self-efficacy regarding physical activity without prescribing a specific exercise program. No direct interaction with healthcare providers occurred during the intervention period.
