View clinical trials related to Chronic Migraine.
Filter by:This study is a single center, random participant selection, data analyst is blinded to patient identifiers, controlled clinical trial. The proposed study is intended to establish safety and efficacy of quantifiable electrical biomarkers for migraine that can be used to confirm a diagnosis in people that have already been screened as positive for migraine using the gold standard participative criteria set out in the International Classification of Headache disorders-3 (ICHD-3) criteria. It is hypothesized that specific brain signals can be used to distinguish between migraine patients with and without aura from normal control and tension- type headache control participants by EEG enhanced with machine learning software.
This proposal will involve a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes of a lifestyle behavior protocol in managing chronic migraine. Additionally, the proposal will investigate biomolecules that are uniquely involved in chronic migraine patients who respond to the protocol. Successful completion of this proposal will inform the design of a future full-scale behavioral clinical trial to control chronic migraine.
Chronic headaches are a major cause of disability among adolescents. Cannabis products have supported the management of headaches in adults and may play a role in pediatric chronic pain. We propose a multisite, open-label, tolerability study conducted across three centers in Canada of Cannabidiol-enriched Cannabis Herbal Extract in adolescents (ages 14 to 17 years old) with chronic headaches. The study includes a one month baseline assessment, four months of escalating treatment doses and a weaning period. Our primary outcome is tolerability defined as the number and severity of reported adverse events.
Preventive treatment with botulinum toxin A injections is standard care for chronic migraine and follows the PREEMPT protocol. Patients are injected at 31 locations in the frontal, corrugator and procerus muscle, the temporalis muscle, the occipitalis muscle, the cervical paraspinal muscle group and the trapezius muscles (11). The treatment is repeated every 12 weeks, performed by specially trained medical doctors or nurses. We will measure elastography of the trapezius muscle before and 5-6 weeks after botox injection. In addition measure with QST
The present non-interventional study on migraine prevention with monoclonal CGRP antibodies adresses questions concering safety, swichting from one CGRP mab to another, efficacy on auras in the real world setting.
An open pilot study, non-controlled, single center investigation.
INTRODUCTION: It is very common that migraine patients could refer neck pain during or after the pain phase of migraine, suggesting that migraine pathophysiological mechanisms could be effective in activating neck pain pathways and be part of the migraine attack. Due to the therapeutic effect of multimodal physical therapy (mobilization and/or manipulation plus exercises) on several pain conditions arising from articular and/or muscular structures such as neck pain, and given the close clinical, anatomical and pathogenetic bi-directional relationship between neck pain and migraine, it would be of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of the physical treatment of the neck region in migraine pain. PURPOSE: to evaluate the efficacy of a combined multimodal physical therapy approach plus usual care vs. usual care alone in subjects with episodic and chronic migraine with concomitant cervical musculoskeletal dysfunctions. STUDY DESIGN: this is a prospective, parallel group, randomized clinical trial. METHODS: A total of 56 subjects aged 18-65 who meet criteria for episodic or chronic migraine with concomitant cervical musculoskeletal dysfunctions will be randomly assigned to receive, musculoskeletal focused multimodal physical therapy (16 sessions over 8 weeks) plus usual care treatment vs. usual care alone. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: not declared.
Migraine is characterized by attacks of throbbing, moderate or severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity to light and/or sound. The study will assess safety and tolerability of atogepant when added to BOTOX, as well as prospectively evaluate the efficacy of add-on atogepant for migraine prevention. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be monitored. Atogepant is an investigational drug being developed to prevent chronic migraine. Approximately 75 adult participants will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites in the United States. All participants will receive atogepant oral tablet once a day (QD) during the 24-week treatment period, in addition to their standard of care Botox. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
Nowadays, headache has been considered as one of the top global disabling medical conditions.1 Migraine is an important type of headache, and one of the chronic multifaceted neuro-inflammatory disorders.2 It is characterized by recurrent throbbing headache pain that typically affects one side of the head, and is often accompanied by nausea and disturbed vision. Migraine headache accounts for 1.4% of all neurological and mental disorders.2 It was reported that the estimated lifetime prevalence of migraine ranged 12%-18%.3 Chronic migraine is defined by the International Classification of Headache Disorders - ICHD-3 as having headaches for ≥ 15 days per month, for ≥ 3 months , which ≥ 8 days/month are linked to migraine. Chronic migraine affects around 1%-4% of the population and chronic tension-type headache about 2.2%.4 Approximately 25%-50% of those affected also have medication overuse headache, which has a population prevalence of 1%.5 Chronic headache is a severely disabling long-term condition, with higher symptom ,frequency and severity than episodic headache.6
Observational, longitudinal, prospective, prospective, comparative study of the effectiveness of triptans before and after onabotulintoxin A initiation in a single group of chronic migraine patients.
