Clinical Research Studies

The purpose of this study is to examine ways to decrease the disability associated with migraine attacks. We are looking to enroll patients with smartphones who have been diagnosed with migraine, a headache disorder that typically has moderate to severe painful attacks. This study will last 6 months. For the first three months, you will be asked to use the "RELAXaHEAD" application to track on a daily basis your headaches and associate symptoms as well as your medications. The relaxation therapy you will be doing is called Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy. You will be randomly assigned to the 'relaxation'group or the 'control group.' You will receive follow up calls within one weel and at 1, 2, 3 and 6 motnhs. Volunteers will also be asked to complete some volunteers that will be returned via email at 3 and 6 months.
