Filter by:The main objective of this study is to see whether the favorable preventative effect of Atorvastatin 40mg per day in episodic migraine, that was found previously in three smaller randomized controlled cross-over studies, can be confirmed in a larger, multicenter, randomized controlled parallel group study. In addition it will be investigated whether 1) there is an effect of a daily dose of 20mg Atorvastatin, 2) whether the favorable side effect profile, seen in previous studies, can be confirmed, and whether it is even better with the smaller dose, and 3) estimating the cost of Atorvastatin treatment, considering cost of medicine, cost of acute attack medicine, and cost of lost worktime.
Migraine, a chronic intermittent headache disorder, ranks in the top five causes of years lived with disability. One promising non-pharmacologic and integrative treatment for migraine may be chiropractic care due to the co-occurrence of migraine and musculoskeletal complaints. The goal of this application is to perform a pilot study of chiropractic care for episodic migraine to help inform the design of a future, full-scale pragmatic effectiveness trial.
Migraine is a fairly common disease that is a leading cause of disability worldwide. 15% of the general population suffer from migraine headaches. Although there are currently many options for the treatment of acute migraine, these treatment options, such as acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), triptans, combinations analgesics and antiemetics, have insufficient efficacy and significant side effects. Therefore, there is a need for new treatment modalities in migraine. Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is gaining interest as an effective treatment for migraine, other headaches and facial pain syndromes. In our study, we aimed to block the Sphenopalatine ganglion with a local anesthetic drug and compare it with the placebo control group.
