Filter by:This is a pilot study that aims to understand the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile health educational app plus group-based mindfulness therapy on anxiety and migraine-related disability among people with migraine.
This will be a randomized double blind cross over interventional trial to determine if Avulux lenses are able to reduce headache symptoms in patients
The purpose of this study to show that zavegepant 10 milligrams given through the nose provides: - freedom from pain, 2 hours after taking the medicine for the first migraine attack. - consistent freedom from pain, 2 hours after taking the medicine across 4 separate migraine attacks. This study is seeking participants who: - are 18 years of age or older. - have migraine attacks present for at least 1 year with age onset before 50 years old. - have migraine attacks, on average, lasting about 4 to 72 hours if not treated. - have 3 to 8 attacks per month but less than15 headache days per month. If the participant is fit to take part in the study, the participant will receive either the study medicine zavegepant or placebo. A placebo looks like zavegepant but does not contain active ingredients. The study medicine will be given using nasal spray device containing a single amount of zavegepant or matching placebo. The participants will be instructed to take the study medicine at home if participants have a migraine headache which reaches moderate or severe pain intensity. The participants are expected to treat up to 4 migraines of moderate to severe intensity. After taking the study medicine, the participant is not allowed to take any other medications for at least 2 hours after taking the study medicine or placebo. Participant can take other medicines after the 2 hours if the migraine is still present. The participant is expected to record on a paper log all medications taken throughout the study. The study duration is around 26 weeks. This includes a 28-day screening window, up to 20 weeks of treatment period, and a follow up visit at about 4 weeks after taking the study medicine the last time. The participant is expected to come into the study center up to 4 times. There will be up to 3 telephone contacts including one after taking the study medicine the first time or Month 1 whichever comes first, at Month 3 if the participant is still in the study, and a safety follow-up. During the study, the participant is expected to complete two sets of questions in an app on a smartphone. This step is done before and after taking the study medicine. The participants must rate: - Pain - Pain symptoms - How the participants are feeling - General well-being
The purpose of this study is to determine if intranasal (IN) Ketorolac in combination with oral Prochlorperazine and Diphenhydramine is non-inferior to current migraine management which involves use of intravenous (IV) Ketorolac and oral adjuncts Prochlorperazine and diphenhydramine for reducing pain intensity in children with migraine headaches. The investigators hypothesize that IN ketorolac combined with these oral adjuncts is non-inferior to IV ketorolac and oral adjuncts in reducing acute migraine headache pain by a minimum clinically significant difference within 60 minutes of administration.
Assessment of the role of volumetric MRI in evaluation of different types of migraine .
Patient education is one type of low-cost intervention that can be easily applied but there are not specific studies about it in pregnant women with migraine. The primary goal of the study is to educate pregnant women experiencing migraine, leading to their understanding of the underlying pathology, management strategies and alarm symptoms. An intervention based on education can lead to empowered individuals capable of self-management, therefore reducing medication overuse and inappropriate use of the emergency department. It is relevant that these patients have access to understandable information; that is, in their own language and avoiding complex medical terms, so that the information can be useful for them and their support system. With this project the investigators aimed to improve the knowledge and satisfaction of participants (patients and healthcare professionals) to better deal with migraines during pregnancy.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate two different non-drug, virtual treatment options designed to improve the lives of patients with migraine. Both interventions involve 8 weekly sessions and an online platform with additional content and learning. Participants can stay on all their medications during this study. Information from this study may help determine how to better treat migraine.
The goal of this pilot randomized control trial is to assess the feasibility of our patient recruitment and data collection strategy ahead of a full scale RCT investigating the efficacy of oral v. parenteral medications in the management of acute migraine headaches in the emergency department. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either (A) standard medical therapy for the treatment of acute migraine headache (metoclopramide and ketorolac IV) and oral placebo or (B) oral metoclopramide and ibuprofen with normal saline IV. Primary outcome measures are recruitment rate and improvement in pain score at 60 minutes from medication administration.
Migraine is a debilitating illness and a major cause of disability in the world. It is highly prevalent, especially among women. Vitamin supplementation is a potential therapeutic option for migraines that remains largely under-explored. Several studies have shown that people with migraine tend to have higher arterial stiffness than people without migraine. Vitamin K2 deficiency is an important mediator of arterial stiffness and calcification due to decreased carboxylation of matrix Gla protein (MGP). Supplementation reverses these changes and improves vascular health in patients with end stage renal disease according to previous studies. Therefore, vitamin K2 supplementation could serve a potential role in migraine patients. The purpose of the study is to test the effect of vitamin K2 on decreasing the frequency of migraine attacks and decreasing arterial stiffness. The population will be recruited from the neurology clinic at LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital and will constitute of adult patients. They will be randomized to receive either the supplement of vitamin K2 or a placebo for the duration of 6 months. Laboratory tests and arterial stiffness measurements will be done at the beginning, middle, and at the end of the study for comparison.
Vestibular dysfunction has traditionally been linked to various conditions that affect older adults. Recent studies have shown that children and adolescents suffer from vestibular impairments, yet the numbers are still low due to some factors, including the non-typical presentations. Vestibular migraine has been found to be the most common condition of vestibular dysfunction among children and adolescents. Nonetheless, most children remain undiagnosed due to lack awareness and vague clinical presentations. Parallel to that, there has been no consensus regarding the management algorithm. Most children are managed with pharmacological management extrapolated from the adult algorithm. Many clinicians fail to understand that pharmacological treatments are not sustainable long-term and should focus on lifestyle modifications such as sleep and dietary habits and other non-pharmacological treatments such as deep breathing exercises and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. This study aims to investigate the effect of non-pharmacological treatment in managing children and adolescents with VM. The investigators will use a standardised questionnaire before and after interventions to investigate the effect of lifestyle modifications, simple vestibular rehabilitation exercises and deep breathing techniques in children and adolescents with VM. Lifestyle modifications and vestibular rehabilitation exercise is a more sustainable way of managing children and adolescents with VM, avoiding the side effects of medication, and is more cost-effective. If the non-pharmacological treatment shows promising results, the investigators will continue with multicentre randomised-controlled studies.
