NCT ID: NCT05528081 Recruiting - Migraine Disorders Clinical Trials

Longitudinal Study of the Patients With Medication-overuse Headache or Migraine That Completed Baseline MRI

LMMM
Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a phone interview research study for patients with migraine or medication-overuse headache (MOH) who have completed baseline MRI scans. Participants will be interviewed by phone at 3, 12, 24 months after the baseline MRI scans. The purpose of this study is to potentially identify the baseline brain functional or structural signatures (functional connectivity, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low frequency fluctuation, and so such) that are predictive of the short- and long- term outcomes as well as treatment response of migraine and MOH patients.

NCT ID: NCT05452239 Recruiting - Migraine Clinical Trials

A Study of Eptinezumab in Participants With Migraine and Medication Overuse Headache

Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a type of headache caused by excessive use of acute headache or migraine medications (medications used to treat a headache or migraine once it begins). Treatment of MOH usually involves reducing the dose of or discontinuing acute medications. Eptinezumab is a medication used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. The main goals of this trial are to learn whether eptinezumab helps reduce the number of days with migraine, the number of days with headache, and acute medication use in adults who have migraine and MOH.

NCT ID: NCT04410536 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Migraine, Hemicrania

Home Detox in Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) During Covid-19 Emergency

MOHC
Start date: June 15, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) is a disabling condition that affects the 2% of migraine population. Medication overuse (MO) makes this condition very difficult to treat. The literature of the last decades confirm the efficacy of withdrawal for patients with medication overuse, but it is also confirmed that patients have to be carefully followed after withdrawal to avoid relapses and to improve the clinical benefit of the therapeutic approach. Clinical results can be improved when traditional therapies are combined with behavioral approaches in particular mindfulness, that help patient to become more conscious about their symptoms and able to manage pain without medication. As the emergency situation due to the Corona-virus pandemic phenomenon in Italy, the regular clinical practice adopted for patients with CM-MO has changed in the last weeks: patients cannot come to the hospital for the withdrawal iv therapy and for regular follow up as the reduced mobility due to the emergency in particular in the Lombardia region, but all over Italy. So the investigators propose a pilot study to enforce the application of a Home-program for the withdrawal procedure for patients and the use of technology like smartphone and video calls so that patients can continue to be followed in their therapeutic process by using behavioral support and mindfulness practice. Patients will perform the withdrawal program at home, by oral administration of therapies, with specific instructions and education. Also the information for behavioral approach and mindfulness practice will be given, to use every day at home. Daily standardized mindfulness sessions of 12 minutes on their smartphone will be combined with weekly video-call to evaluate the clinical condition and to encourage the use strategies for pain management. Face-to-face visits at the follow up every three months will be scheduled. This modality will allow the patients to continue their therapeutic process and to be regularly followed during the one year after withdrawal.

NCT ID: NCT03671681 Recruiting - Chronic Migraine Clinical Trials

Mindfulness Therapy for Chronic Migraine

Mind-CM
Start date: November 5, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim is to assess the efficacy of adding on a Mindfulness-based therapy to pharmacological prophylaxis (experimental group: pharmacological prophylaxis + Mindfulness) against pharmacological prophylaxis only (control group) on the reduction of monthly headaches frequency (primary endpoint), symptomatic medications intake, inflammatory pattern, depression, anxiety, cutaneous allodynia, improving disability and quality of life (secondary endpoints). Moreover, other aims are to assess whether adding on Mindfulness-based therapy is also associated to a superior improvement of neuroimaging pattern among patients prescribed neuromodulators or antidepressants and to assess the cost-efficacy of adding on a Mindfulness-based therapy to pharmacological prophylaxis. Mindfulness will be provided in small groups (5-7 patients each) by specifically trained therapists. The treatment consists in six 45 minutes weekly sessions in which one will work on meditation, acceptance and awareness. The program of control group will consist in education of patients, followed by pharmacological prophylaxis. Prophylaxis is prescribed based on patients' profile, such as previous failures, contraindications and so on by a neurologist with expertise in headache treatments. We expect that adding-on Mindfulness will determine a wider reduction of headaches frequency and improvement of secondary endpoints, and that disease cost reduction will support the cost-efficacy of Mindfulness. The study will be a Phase III; randomized, Open-Label; Monocentric study. Patients will be enrolled to detect a 20% difference between the two groups on the primary outcome (50% or more of headache reduction by 12 months). For each medication type and research arm 20 patients will be selected: thus 80 patients will be enrolled for neuroradiological investigation.

NCT ID: NCT03655184 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Medication Overuse Headache

An Observation Study on Neuropsychology and Serum Melatonin Level in Patients With Medication Overuse Headache

Start date: September 10, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a disabling and costly disorder which is characterized by chronic headache and overuse of different headache medications. Patients with MOH are more likely to coexist with affective disorders such as anxiety and depression, and are more likely to suffer from sleep disturbances than those with episodic headache. Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland. Melatonin is an antioxidant, antinociceptive, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, anxiolytic, sedative and analgesic. This observational study aims to investigate clinical characteristics of patients with MOH and to explore the relationship between the serum melatonin level and medication overuse headache. Researchers hope to provide a new idea for the clinical treatment of MOH: melatonin can be used as an adjuvant therapy for MOH in the future.

NCT ID: NCT01754571 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Medication Overuse Headache

CBT in Patients With Medication Overuse Headache

Start date: July 2012
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Interventional

According to the definition from International Headache Society, medication overuse headache (MOH) is diagnosed when patients takes painkillers for more than 10 or 15 days per month (depending on what kind of painkillers being used), for more than 3 months, which results in the deterioration of headache. The treatments of MOH include preventive medication of headache and withdrawal of the overused painkillers. Other than the simple oral advice, some researchers recommended non-pharmacological methods. Pryse-Phillips et al. (1998) reviewed the the treatment of migraine and suggested that biofeedback, relaxation, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), psychological therapy, hypnosis and physical treatment are effective. Researches also point out CBT is effective on withdrawing medication in patients with MOH (Kroner-Herwig, 2009). Lake (2006) reported that behavioural therapy maybe an adjunct therapy to preventive medication to reduce the relapse rate of medication overuse. The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of CBT in patients with MOH. The target is to reduce the frequency of headache and use of painkillers. Patients could benefit from the education and relaxation training during CBT to cope with headache and reduce the use of painkillers. The research will recruit 60 patients with MOH at Neurology Clinics, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. They will be separated into two groups, 30 in control group and the other 30 in the experimental group. Education of MOH, relaxation and cognitive restructuring would be included in the four weeks training program. The training program is under the supervision of a neurologist from Far Eastern Memorial Hospital and a psychology professor from Fu Jen Catholic University. The control group will accept four weeks telephone interview to confirm their headache diary including the frequency of headache and use of painkillers. The frequency of headache and medication use will be used for analyzing the effect of CBT.
