Headaches are a common medical problem that physicians frequently encounter in their practice. One of key findings of The Atlas of Headache Disorders prepared by World Health Organization (WHO) is: headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headache (TTH), are among the most prevalent disorders of mankind. The fixed combination of indomethacin, prochlorperazine and caffeine (IndoProCaf) showed efficacy and safety in acute treatment of migraine and episodic tension-type headache attacks. IndoProCaf (Difmetre®) is widely used in common daily practice only in Italy from early 1970s, is available at the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) pharmaceutical market now. There are limited data regarding IndoProCaf usage from post-marketing settings. This will be a first post-marketing observational study which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and patients' satisfaction of primary headaches acute treatment in routine clinical settings in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
The purpose of this research study is to examine whether a one-day group workshop, integrating principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Migraine Education, will result in greater improvements in depressive symptoms and functioning impairment in patients with comorbid migraine and depression than a similar one-day group workshop with Migraine Education only.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug known as LY2951742 in healthy Japanese and Caucasians. The study will also investigate how the body processes the drug and how the drug affects the body. The study is expected to last about 5 to 7 months, depending on the arm.
A major reason for the substantial underuse of pharmacological prevention of migraine is its inadequate efficacy, since only ~50% of patients respond to a specific agent. There is currently no evidence-based way to identify the patients that will respond to a specific preventive treatment. Amitriptyline is one of the commonest agents used for migraine prevention, strengthening patient's pain inhibitory capacity. Individual tailoring of analgesics according to pain inhibitory capacity has been shown effective by our group for painful diabetic neuropathy patients. Specifically, patients with reduced pain inhibition capacity gained more from a drug that augment pain inhibition as compared to those with efficient inhibitory capacity. The investigators now propose to assess migraineurs for their pain inhibition capacity, and examine whether, along similar reasoning, those with reduced inhibitory capacity are the ones more likely to respond to amitriptyline. Psychophysical and neurophysiological dimensions of pain inhibitory modulation will be assessed in migraineurs, who will, subsequently, receive either amitriptyline or placebo for 8 weeks, in a randomized two arms parallel double blind design, and followed up for attacks reduction. The investigators expect to identify the best predictors for efficacy of migraine prevention by the study drug. This approach will promote individualization of migraine therapy.
Haloperidol is known to be a safe alternative medication to control difficult pain, and has been shown effective when compared to placebo for controlling headaches. Investigators hypothesized that the combination of haloperidol and diphenhydramine would be a useful medication choice for migraine headache patients in the emergency department in comparison to a common migraine treatment regimen of metoclopramide and diphenhydramine.
This study will compare a local anesthetic technique that has been used to treat subjects suffering from transformed migraines (chronic migraines) versus medical management with traditional antidepressant Amitriptyline / Elavil. Subjects will be randomized into one of two treatment groups to compare the safety and efficacy of the therapies. Subjects will recieve either sphenopalatine ganglion nerve block with 5% lidocaine gel into the nasopharynx or medical management with traditional antidepressants, Elavil, to produce a reduction in the frequency and severity of the headache. We propose that there will be a difference in the outcomes when comparing the two methods of treating transformed migraines and that one research arm will result in more patient satisfaction and greater efficacy in the treatment of subjects
Botox acts on nerve endings, yet there are no nerve endings inside the muscle, where they are typically injected. All nerves terminate on the fascia, where ASIS device can precisely deliver Botox by creating that subdermal bloodless space, between the skin and muscle. Thus enhancing and prolonging Botox's efficacy, at the same time prevent it's unnecessary adverse reactions and distant spread, especially since Botox has no reason to travel to the rest of the body any way.
To evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine days in adults with chronic migraine.
This is a Phase 1/ Phase 2, 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ELS-M11 compared to placebo in 50 male and female subjects, aged 18 to 65 years that suffer recurring moderate-severe migraine headaches (2-8 per month). This study is designed to describe the efficacy and safety of ELS-M11 as compared to placebo.
