View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This study will test whether inhaling essential oils can change how sensitive people with migraine are to pressure pain. Participants will be allocated to inhale lavender, peppermint, a combination of both, or a control solution (distilled water with coconut oil). Each group will have 50 participants. The inhalation will last 15 minutes and will happen only once. Before and after the inhalation, we will measure how much pressure on certain areas of the head.
