Filter by:This trial assesses the impact of a supervised aerobic exercise program by a kinesiologist in patients with migraine. Patients can be assigned to one of two groups 1)The exercise group or 2)non-exercise group. This is a important area to study because there is currently limited information regarding exercise and its impact on migraine frequency and severity. In many cases, migraine patients are disabled by their headaches and sometimes will not have a significant response to medications. As a result, it is important to study other non-pharmacological interventions. In this study, the investigators hope to show the benefits of exercise by a reduction in number of headache days per month as well as by improvement in quality of life, disability,depression,anxiety,and aerobic fitness.This study will not interfere with the usual treatment patients receive at our headache clinic and patients can remain on medications deemed necessary.
The objective of this proof-of-concept study is to generate initial safety and effectiveness data for the neuro-modulation stimulation (NMS) E-Box in patients with chronic migraine in an acute setting. The results of this study will determine if further development of this device in a larger study is warranted.
The aim of the present study is to determine the extend to which OMT is effective on a sample of subjects affected by migraine evaluated using the headache impact test (HIT-6) questionnaire.
The researchers investigated the relationship between migraine and allergy. For this purpose, the researchers designed a controlled study to evaluate nasal symptoms and signs; and to perform Specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) measurements in migraine patients and healthy subjects. According to these results the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in migraine group was planned to be compared to that of the healthy controls, statistically.
We will use Cilostazol as a tool to investigate its headache inducing effects in migraine patients.
This study evaluates the use of oxytocin, given as a nasal spray, for treatment of high frequency episodic migraine and chronic migraine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of topiramate in preventing migraine among Indian participants requiring prophylaxis (measure taken to maintain health and prevent the spread of disease).
This study will evaluate the use of the Assessment of Chronic Migraine Impacts (ACM-I) Questionnaire in assessing the impact and benefit of treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) in adults with chronic migraine.
Approximately 9% of men and 18% of women suffer from migraine headaches. Almost all migraine sufferers report light sensitivity during a headache. Some people with migraine report that light can trigger their migraines and some people with migraine are light sensitive all of the time. The investigators have recently determined that certain colors of light are more likely to trigger migraines than other colors. In this study the investigators want to know if people who wear glasses that block these colors of light will have fewer migraine headaches.
Parenteral diphenhydramine is commonly used as adjuvant therapy for acute migraine despite the fact that data supporting this practice do not exist. The investigators propose a randomized double blind study to test the hypothesis that 50mg of intravenous diphenhydramine, when added to standard migraine therapy, will result in a greater rate of sustained headache relief than standard migraine therapy alone. For this study, standard migraine therapy will be 10mg of intravenous metoclopramide. Sustained headache relief is defined as achieving a headache level of "mild" or "none" within two hours and maintaining a level of "mild" or "none" for 48 hours. Patients who present to the Montefiore emergency room (Bronx, NY) with an acute migraine will be approached for participation. They will be screened for medication contra-indications and non-migraine etiologies of headache. The study will be randomized. Assignment will be concealed. Participants and researchers will be blinded. Efficacy outcomes and adverse events will be assessed every half hour for two hours in the Emergency Department and by telephone 48 hours after medication administration. A sample size calculation, based on pilot data, revealed the need for 374 participants. An interim analysis will be performed after 200 participants have been enrolled with the goal of assessing for lack of conditional power.
