Filter by:This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nerivio, an FDA-authorized remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device for the acute treatment of migraine, for the acute treatment of migraine in people with chronic migraine. The device delivers transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the upper arm to induce conditioned pain modulation (CPM) that activates a descending endogenous analgesic mechanism. The study duration consists of a 4 weeks of active treatment with the device in about 40 patients.
Acupuncture has been a means of treating headaches and migraine since 2002 and is now a World Health Organisation-recognized prophylactic treatment for migraine. Brain activation/de-activation via acupuncture modifies the haemodynamic responses in the brain which may impact the sensorial, cognitive and affective dimensions of pain. Randomized studies on patients suffering from aura-free migraine have shown that the painkilling effect of regular acupuncture sessions on the cerebral substratum, compared with simulated sham-type acupuncture, can reduce the frequency of bouts of migraine, number of days with headaches and also their intensity. Modifications to the white matter (WM) and grey matter (GM) occur after repeated sessions of acupuncture treatment for pain and these are observable via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is a very sensitive technique and often used to detect functional and structural brain changes.
This is a randomised, placebo controlled, double blind, crossover proof of concept study to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral LAT8881 in acute migraine, with or without aura.
Treatment of chronic migraineurs who have failed more than 3 preventive drugs with Erenumab alone, to reduce frequency of monthly migraine days or as an add on therapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eptinezumab administered intravenously in participants experiencing an acute attack of migraine.
Idebenone improves energy metabolism similarly to Coenzyme Q10, which is effective in migraine prophylaxis. The investigators compare idebenone (90 mg/day, 270 mg/day) and placebo in 180 migraine patients in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial to study whether Idebenone is superior to placebo in the prevention of episodic migraine with or without aura.
Migraine is a significant health problem in the United States with 34 million Americans suffering from migraine attacks every year. High-flow oxygen has been successfully used in several clinical studies. Vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the scalp has been proposed as a possible mechanism of action. Some researchers have suggested that the cooling effect of high-flow dry oxygen may be in part responsible for the pain relief. The main objective is to test the hypothesis that the pain relief obtained during high-flow trans-nasal gas therapy is due to the cooling effect of dry gas on the nasal mucosa. The study entails recruiting patients from a headache clinic, being escorted to the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) Johns Hopkins Bayview and randomized into different groups (humidified oxygen, dry air, humidified air and dry oxygen). Eventually, patients will be asked to fill out a questionnaire on pain, nausea, sound and light sensitivity graded on a scale of 1-10. Readings are noted at baseline, 15 mins, 2 hours and 24 hours post-therapy.
Migraine is a very common, neurological disorder, characterized by recurrent episodes of headache, potential progression to more frequent and severe attack patterns, and associated symptoms. In Spain, the prevalence rates are 12-13% and in women up to 17-18% Migraine has been shown to largely impair patient's Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), affecting work, household chores, social activities and family life. Recurrent headache attacks and frequently persistent fear and concern about the next attack disrupt the patient's familial, occupational and social life, and reduce his/her expectations for career and financial future. The consequences of this loss of productivity is also shared in his/her private life with their family. For this reason, not only the clinical benefit but other dimensions as HRQoL or work affectation should be added to the study of the benefits of migraine treatment. Migraine pathophysiology pathways may be shared with other illness, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) . The purpose of the present clinical trial is to evaluate whether erenumab, at a target dose of 70 mg or 140 mg for a period of 12 months, impacts Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among patients withchronic migraine (CM) or High-Frequency Episodic Migraine (HFEM) who are affected with at least one comorbidity (fibromyalgia, fatigue and IBS). Data from this study, will provide additional information to help clinicians in treating patients with migraine and other illness.
Dexamethasone is an evidence-based treatment of acute migraine. This is a randomized comparison of two different doses of dexamethasone for acute migraine. All patients will also be treated with metoclopramide.
AM is a naturally occurring peptide in the body and consists of 52 amino acids. AM belongs to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) superfamily and has several structural, physiological and pharmacological similarities to CGRP, intermdine and amylin. In a randomized double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over design 20 migraine patients without aura recruited to receive infusion of adrenomedullin or placebo (saline).
