Effectiveness of a Dialogue-based Online Intervention Against Migraine

Effectiveness of the Unguided Online Program Ceprica for the Treatment of Migraine: a Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Sept 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a dialogue-based online intervention (ceprica) that provides information regarding cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in patients with migraine. The study aims to test the hypothesis that ceprica has a greater positive impact on migraine symptoms than an active control intervention providing psychoeducational content. Patients fulfilling ICHD-criteria for migraine will be randomized and allocated to either an intervention group, receiving ceprica in addition to treatment as usual, or a control group, which receives access to an active control intervention in addition to treatment as usual. The primary endpoint is the number of migraine days per month.
