Filter by:Migraine headaches lead to absenteeism and can restrict on-the-job productivity (presenteeism) for employed migraine sufferers. Effective migraine treatments should reduce migraine-associated productivity losses and return migraineurs to normal functioning within a few hours of treatment. This study is an observational, multicenter, parallel-group study of employed patients who have been prescribed either a combination product containing sumatriptan and naproxen sodium (SumaRT/Nap) or oral triptan monotherapy to treat acute migraine attacks. The study will report results from 4 migraine attacks per patient. Eligible migraine attacks will be defined as those preceded by a 24-hour, headache-free period with onset between 2 hours prior to the start of and 4 hours before the end of a scheduled work shift. Data will be collected at time of treatment and hourly until the end of the attack or the end of the workday. To estimate baseline productivity, data will be collected from 50 randomly selected subjects during a migraine-free workday. The primary objective of this study is to compare migraine-related, work productivity losses (absenteeism and presenteeism) reported by patients treated with SumaRT/Nap to losses reported by patients treated with triptan monotherapy. The null hypothesis is that no difference will be observed between the number of hours of productivity lost for patients who treat workday migraine attacks with SumaRT/Nap and patients who treat migraine attacks with an oral triptan alone. The alternative hypotheses are that patients in either treatment group experience significantly fewer hours of lost productivity associated with migraine compared to patients in the other treatment group. The secondary objectives of this study are to measure the time between treatment and return to patient-reported, normal functioning; to evaluate rescue medication use after initial treatment; to measure total productivity loss following treatment at hourly time points; and to estimate the probability of absenteeism when a migraine begins before or during the workday. The null hypotheses for the secondary endpoints are that no differences will be observed between the results reported by patients treating with SumaRT/Nap and patients treating with triptan monotherapy. The alternative hypotheses are that either treatment is superior to the other for each endpoint.
The study is designed to investigate the information on safety and efficacy of naratriptan tablets on Japanese subjects with migraine headache during Japanese post-marketing surveillance period.
The study is designed to detect adverse drug reactions (particularly clinically significant adverse drug reactions) occurring in clinical settings, to examine factors likely to affect the safety and efficacy of sumatriptan tablet, and to discuss the need of special investigation and postmarketing clinical study. A special focus was placed on the investigation of occurrence of "ischaemic heart disease-like events including arrhythmia, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction" in the present study.
This study is conducted to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex of patients with acute migraine attack.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of melatonin 3 mg compared to placebo and amitriptyline 25 mg in the preventive treatment of migraine.
The purpose of this retrospective claims database study was to compare the change in migraine-related prescription (i.e. NSAIDs, Opioids, Ergots) utilization among migraine suffers following initiation of Treximet ™ (sumatriptan/naproxen) compared with subjects initiating treatment with other orally available triptans. The study was used to validate the migraine-related prescription utilization patterns predicted by the Treximet ™ Budget Impact Model. The SourceLx dataset from the family of Wolters Kluwer databases was used for this analysis. The database contains 30% of prescription claims filled in the United States (US), approximately 160 million patient lives. The data has broad representative coverage at both the geographic and payment levels.
To investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of AMERGE (naratriptan hydrochloride) on Japanese patients with migraine headache in clinical setting
The purpose of this study is to (1) evaluate pain-free efficacy of Treximet™ following treatment of menstrual migraine, (2) investigate levels of Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), estrogen, cortisol, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), alpha (a)-amylase, Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) and beta (ß)-endorphin in saliva before and after Treximet™, (3) evaluate efficacy of Treximet™ to return to baseline levels following treatment, and (4) correlate estrogen in saliva vs. urinary estradiol at mid-luteal, onset of menstrually-related migraine, and after successful treatment with Treximet™.
This is an open label pilot study to determine whether milnacipran can reduce headache frequency in episodic and chronic migraine sufferers.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a brief behavioral insomnia intervention in reducing headache frequency and severity among patients with chronic migraine and insomnia. It is hypothesized that this intervention will produce greater changes in headache frequency and severity than will a comparison treatment involving non-sleep-specific general lifestyle modifications.
