Filter by:This study examines cervical joint position sense in individuals with chronic migraine vs. healthy controls. The ability to reposition the cervical spine after active movement will be evaluated in different head positions. Impaired proprioception and motor control is hypothesized in the migraine group.
The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of headache in undergraduate students. The frequency, duration, localizations and symptoms of headache will be determined with the information obtained as a result of the forms filled in by the participants. The second aim of this study is to examine the effects of headache on physical, social and psychological status in undergraduate student(participants) from a biopsychosocial perspective.
Headaches are the fourth cause/reason for disability in the world population. Of which, headache in general accounts for 47%, 38% are tension headaches, 10% migraines and 3% for chronic headache lasting more than 15 days a month. Migraine is a neurological disease/disorder originating in the central nervous system with difficulty modulating responses to common sensory stimuli. Different studies have linked possible oculomotor problems and headaches, being an important and complex relationship. It is difficult to find a suitable and beneficial treatment for the treatment of migraine. It is hypothesized that adding a treatment of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise of the oculomotor system to an already established protocol of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise of the cervical region, has an additional benefit for patients with migraines (in relation to the quality of life, symptomatology and functionality).
Migraine: An episodic disorder consisting of severe headache, usually with photophobia (sensitivity to light), phonophobia (sensitivity to sound), and/or nausea (occasionally vomiting). Migraine is predominantly a female disease. The incidence of migraine was found to in women (18.2/1000 person-years) and between the ages of 15-19 in men (6.2/1000 person-years). The incidence of migraine was found to peak between the ages of 20-24 in women (18.2/1000 person-years) and between the ages of 15-19 in men (6.2/1000 person-years). Migraine treatments are generally classified as pharmacological (treatment with medication) and non-pharmacological (treatment with no medication). Laughter therapy has recently come to the fore as a non-pharmacological and alternative treatment in chronic pain management. In a randomized controlled study, 30 minutes of laughter therapy was applied to women on the 2nd and 6th days after mastectomy surgery and it was determined that women who received laughter therapy had a significant decrease in pain and anxiety levels. This study was planned to determine the effect of laughter therapy on women with migraine.
The high frequency of migraine contrasts with the disparity of its management. The FRAMIG 3 study, carried out in France on the basis of the definition criteria of migraine of the IHS 2004 classification, identified, on the basis of a questionnaire of a representative sample of the general population of 10532 people, 11.2% of the people meeting the criteria of defined migraine and 10.1% of the criteria of probable migraine. Only 40.2% knew they had migraine. 50% used self-medication. Although available since the late 1990s as an effective and specific treatment for migraine attacks, 7.5% of migraineurs in the FRAMIG 3 study used a triptan. In 2003-4, 1.5% of the 1,793,000 inhabitants of Alsace had received at least one prescription for triptans over a one-year period. 1.9% of them were considered overconsumers (greater than or equal to 144 doses/year). More than 10 years later, another population-based study, using data from the French national health agency, identified 1.8% of insured persons receiving a triptan. Several migraine prophylactic treatments have been shown to be effective in patients with frequent or severe migraine attacks, or who do not respond to crisis treatment, or who claim poor quality of life due to migraine, but only 50% of candidates for such prophylactic treatment were receiving it. Only 1.5% of migraine patients in the FRAMIG 3 study were taking prophylaxis. Quality of life was impaired in 57% of migraineurs in the USA and in 28% of French migraineurs. In Ali's study (Ali 2017), 6.9% of migraineurs had used a neurologist. A Brazilian study shows that the average delay of patients accessing a tertiary center was 17 years. As promising new prophylactic treatments become available, we wanted to study a population of migraineurs identified on the basis of a triptan prescription, in order to try to better identify the characteristics of this population, particularly in terms of analgesic consumption and use of specialized care. The objective of this study was to describe the quantity of triptans dispensed to residents of the Grand Est region aged 12 years and older, between June 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019, based on health insurance data. The secondary objectives were to compare the characteristics of insured persons who had at least one triptan dispensing with those of other insured persons, and to compare the characteristics of insured persons by quantity of triptans dispensed.
This is a post-marketing study investigating the safety and efficacy of the REN device (Nerivio by Theranica, ISRAEL) in adolescents with migraine. The data analysis will test the ability of Frequent use of REN for the acute treatment of migraine to reduce the number of monthly migraine days in subsequent months, suggesting potential preventive benefits.
This is a Post-marketing study investigating the long-term safety, utilization, and efficacy of REN during 12 consecutive months of using Nerivio in migraine patients. Safety will be assessed by the number and type of adverse events. Utilization will be measured by the number of monthly treatments. Efficacy will be evaluated as a change in headache pain severity and functional disability from baseline to 2 hours post-treatment in at least 50% of the treatments.
The involvement of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the cinnamaldehyde-induced dermal blood flow increase and in the mechanism of action of triptans will be investigated. The capsaicin-induced dermal blood flow will be incorporated as a positive control; histamine skin pricks as a negative control. Changes in dermal blood flow will be measured with laser speckle contrast imaging.
To investigate whether administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) binding monoclonal antibodies eptinezumab prevents pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide-38 (PACAP-38) induced migraine attacks in migraine without aura patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different exercise types and combinations on migraine attacks in patients with chronic migraine.
