Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a single dose of ALD403 in the prevention of migraine headache in frequent episodic migraineurs for 24 weeks.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the effects of ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen for the acute treatment of primary migraine in children in or out prophylactic treatment with magnesium. Methods: The study had been approved by the Researchers Ethics Committee of the "Pugliese-Ciaccio" Hospital (protocol number 720/2010; EUDRACT NUMBER 2012-005737-36) and the children ranging from the ages of 5 to 18 years with at least four attack/month of primary migraine were enrolled. A Visual Analogical Scale was used to evaluate pain intensity at the moment of admission to the study (start of the study) and every month up to 18 months later (end of the study).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the transcranial direct current stimulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) in patients affected by refractory chronic migraine (coded as 1.5.1 in the international headache classification 2nd edition, 2004) and medication-overuse headache (coded as 8.1) with migraine as primary headache.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of OnabotulinumtoxinA to prevent headaches in patients with Chronic Migraine.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness and benefit of treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA in Chronic Migraine patients who have received a minimum of 7 treatment cycles.
This study will highlight and validate chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (CSMT) for migraine. If the method proves to be effective, it will provide a new non-pharmacological treatment option for migraine. This is especially important since some migraineurs do not tolerate acute and/or prophylactic medicine, due to side effects or contraindications due to comorbidity of other diseases while others do not have effect. Thus, alternative treatment options are warranted. The applied methodology of the study will aim towards the highest possible research standards. This international study is a collaboration between Akershus University Hospital, University of Oslo (UiO), Norway and Macquarie University, Australia. The multidisciplinary professional backgrounds are physiotherapy, chiropractic and medicine. By increasing the methodological quality of the investigators research to a very high level, the investigators see the method to work as a guide to increase the quality of chiropractic research in the future, as previous randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of migraine used methodology showing room for improvement.
Investigators hypothesize that chronic primary headaches are accompanied by a discrete pattern of brain metabolism and activity involving brain structures related to the development of acute exacerbations as well as pain modulation. Such structures include the brainstem, hypothalamus, and orbitofrontal cortex and can be defined using functional brain imaging.
Patients with acute migraine attack make up the majority of patients consulting the emergency services due to headache. The aim of treatment in the emergency service is to achieve a minimum level of undesirable side effects and to quickly relieve the pain which will not repeat after discharge from the emergency service. Ideal drug treatment contraindication should be at a minimum level and not trigger migraine. Paracetamol and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used in the treatment of migraine headache. Although narcotic analgesics provide effective and rapid analgesia, they have such side effects as hypotension, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness. In recent years, with the production of parenteral forms of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, the analgesic efficacy of these drugs has been one of the topics of interest to researchers. Especially intravenous form of paracetamol is new yet compared to other Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and it is a drug with a wide safety margin and less incidence of side effects. The effectiveness of the Intravenous form of paracetamol and whether it can be an alternative to other analgesics is one of the major research topics today, and more study is needed on this subject. Both drugs are often used in emergency services to treat headache caused by acute migraine attack. Our aim is to compare the effectiveness of intravenous dexketoprofen with paracetamol in the treatment of the headache caused by acute migraine attack.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a fixed-dose combination of naratriptan 2,5 mg + naproxen 500 mg is effective and safe compared each monotherapy for the acute treatment of migraine.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether erenumab is safe and well tolerated in healthy adults and migraine patients. As part of the secondary objectives, this study will be conducted to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of erenumab after multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses in healthy adults and migraine patients, as well as to characterize the effect of erenumab on the capsaicin induced increase in dermal blood flow after multiple SC doses in healthy adults and migraine patients.
