The study examines Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) to see if it can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. Participants will be randomly placed into two groups: one receiving EAET through weekly online sessions and another as a control group that may receive treatment later.See study design
What are the potential side effects?

What objectives has this research endeavor set out to accomplish?

"This clinical trial is designed to track the alteration of patients' migraine days per month post-treatment, as well as changes in their quality of life and levels of allodynia. A questionnaire will be administered monthly over a period of one month before treatment commences for baseline data collection. The MSQL scores pre and post-intervention will evaluate the effectiveness at which it improves participants' wellbeing, while an Allodynia Questionnaire from 0 to 24 can gauge any reduction in symptoms such as burning or tingling sensations caused by stimuli that would normally not produce these responses."
