Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an educational video program can help reduce migraine frequency and improve migraine-related outcomes in adults with migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are: * 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

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Video-based educational program on physical activity for migraine management	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.
