Abstract
Methods Individuals with moderate to severe migraine were recruited from specialty clinics, family practices, and the university community. After confirmatory clinical evaluation and an 8-week run-in phase, those meeting study criteria (compliant with study procedures, at least 5 migraines per month) were randomized to 8 weekly CST or low-strength static magnet therapy (LSSM) treatments. Study participants were followed for 4 weeks after the conclusion of therapy. Primary outcome measures included headache frequency and headache-specific quality of life (HIT-6). Secondary headache-specific measures include headache-related disability (MIDAS), headache intensity, and abortive medication use.
Highlights
The purpose of this study was to evaluate feasibility and obtain preliminary efficacy estimates comparing craniosacral therapy (CST) with an attention-control condition for the adjunctive treatment of migraine

Compliance with study procedures was excellent, with 60 of 69 randomized individuals completing 8 weeks of therapy. Individuals in both treatment groups appeared to benefit from the therapy
