Filter by:The purpose of this study is to understand better the mechanisms of action of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) targeted monoclonal antibodies in migraine prevention. Specifically, the protocol will allow the investigators to determine whether the main site of action of this novel and recently-approved class of migraine prophylactic drugs act inside or outside the brain and if so, where.
To explore the relationship between clinical response to erenumab and genetic biomarkers
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a peptide of 28 amino acid residues that belongs to the glucagon/secretin superfamily of peptides. Along with other neuropeptides, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), it is released from the trigeminal afferents and exerts a strong vasodilating activity on the cranial vasculature. Especially, it shares 70% structure with PACAP and acts on the same receptors. But, unlike it, VIP cannot induce a long-lasting vasodilation and has a modest capability to induce migraine attacks. Whether it may induce migraine-like attacks in migraine patients, as a twenty-minute infusion of PACAP, is unknown.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment benefit of erenumab on headache duration of at least moderate pain intensity.
Acute headache is one of the most common reasons for presentation to the emergency department (ED), accounting for 2-3% of all emergency visits. Migraine is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by a moderate or severe headache, which is generally associated with nausea and/or sensitivity to light and sound, interfering with daily activities.
This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of a specific treatment protocol using dry needling with perineural electrical stimulation in comparison to standard treatment in physical therapy for patients with migraine headaches. This will be a randomized cross-over study in which participants will be in the first arm of the study, have a washout period, then cross over to the other arm of the study.
Studying glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) induced vasodilatory effects on extra - and intracerebral arteries and headache in healthy volunteers and migraine patients without aura.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was suggested to provide beneficial effects in chronic migraine (CM), a condition often associated with medication overuse (MO) for which no long-term therapy is available.
To investigate the glutaminergic system in the onset of migraine-like attacks.
This study is a group controlled clinical trial. ParallelParallel study, patients aged 25-50 years, with Migraine Chronicle. Twelve sessions will be held during four mindfulness practice with four recordings (one per week). As a brainwave biomarker, the Muse, a Electroencephalogram (EEG). The investigators will use the MIDAS questionnaire, the HIT-6 Questionnaire and the FFMQ-BR. Based on the use of tDCS in patients with chronic pain, and in benefits of Mindfulness practice in these patients, the objective is to evaluate if the mindfulness-associated TCCA provides satisfactory results in the painful prophylaxis of patients with chronic migraine.
