My daughter suffers migraines from a pinched nerve and suffers from lack of sleep due to the migraines. Will a sleep study help her? Can we get help for both problems?

A sleep study would not be helpful. I would recommend an evaluation by a neurologist or pain management.

Based on the information given, I doubt a sleep study would be indicated or helpful to determine the relationship between your daughter's migraines and insomnia. You can, however, get help with both problems. Medication, biofeedback and correcting triggers for the headaches are some of the treatment options.
