Aim: The proposed study will evaluate the feasibility of teaching SA to patients with migraines in the United Kingdom National Health Service setting.
Methodology: The study will employ a pragmatic, mixed-methods, randomised, parallel-group, exploratory design. The study will compare SA plus standard care versus standard care alone. Participants will complete outcome measures at various time points and be invited to take part in a qualitative telephone interview to explore their views on the design of the study and acceptability of the intervention. The researcher will take field notes of the observation of the SA teaching session to explore the acceptability of the SA teaching method. Data will be analysed to test the hypothesis.
