ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how different types of special lenses can help prevent migraine attacks. Researchers want to see if a specific lens called the Blue Cut for Night filter is more effective at reducing migraines compared to another lens called the FL-41 filter and a lens that blocks certain light wavelengths. There is also a group that will wear clear lenses without any filters for comparison. This study will be conducted in a controlled and random manner, meaning that participants won’t know which type of lens they are wearing to ensure unbiased results.

To participate in the trial, you need to be an adult under 66 years old who has been diagnosed with migraines by a neurologist. You should be able to communicate in Danish and come to the clinic during a migraine attack. It's important that you have experienced migraines for more than a year and have frequent attacks—at least four each month. Participants will receive guidance on what to expect during the study, including how often they need to visit the clinic, and will be monitored throughout the trial. If you have certain eye conditions or chronic pain issues, you may not be eligible to join. This trial is not yet recruiting, so there will be more information available once it begins.
