Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Migraine on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Migraine recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    40 of 105 indexed trials (38.1%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Migraine trials is spread across many organizations.

    Pfizer accounts for 7 of 105 trials (6.7%). 59 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Migraine enrolment sits around 127 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 127 among the 103 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 42 of those (40.8%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Migraine research is mostly interventional.

    85 interventional and 20 observational studies make up this index (81% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
