Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab in patients with chronic migraine in Asian population.
Data role of salivary inflammatory markers in migraine and Tension Type headache (TTH) are lacking. Τhe investigators studied whether headache attacks are associated with changes in C reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin -1β and Interleukin -6 in saliva in patients with Tension Type Headache and Migraine and age matched healthy controls . Τhe investigators, also investigated whether these markers could be influenced by comorbidities such as depression and anxiety.
This study investigates molecular and physical biomarkers of headaches in order to better understand mechanisms of these diseases. There are 3 main parts: 1. Use of capsaicin (active ingredient in hot chili peppers) to trigger release of calcitonin gene related peptide - the hypothesis is that this will be different in headache subjects compared to controls (and if so might be used to predict how these patients will respond to certain medications that modulate calcitonin gene-related peptide). Subjects will be given capsaicin as a cream applied to the forehead or the inner nostril, or a hot sauce that is ingested. 2. Use of capsaicin to trigger eye watering - the hypothesis is that oxygen gas will slow down the amount of eye watering. Cluster headache patients respond very powerfully to oxygen gas but to very little else. The mechanism for oxygen is unknown but in rodents there is data that it works on the parasympathetic / lacrimal gland system. This study translates rodent data into humans in a non-invasive way to confirm the mechanism of this very effective treatment. 3. Use of ice water to trigger headaches - brain freeze causes a very short-lived but intense headache that may cause similar biomarker release as other headache disorders. This may be a useful human model for other headache disorders.
Brain white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are prevalent in migraineurs, of which the mechanism is still unclear. The investigators aimed to test the spatial association between areas with reduced cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to hypercapnic stimuli and consequent development of WMHs.
The purpose of this study is to identify a core fMRI feature that determines migrainous brain and plastic fMRI features that changes with longitudinal courses of migraine.
Sensitivity to Acute Middle cerebral or intracranial Carotid artery Occlusion in MIGrainers (SMCO-MIG) is a prospective multi-center study to determine if migraine induces a faster infarct growth as assessed by initial multimodal imaging.
The primary goal of this study is to test the effects of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate mixed meal on candidate modulators of cardiovascular disease risk (inflammation, vascular reactivity, sympathetic nervous system tone, and response to pain) in young adult women with migraine compared with healthy young women. This is study enrolling both cases (women with migraine) and controls (women without migraine), with equal numbers of normal weight and obese women in each group. Participants will undergo a telephone screening and a single day in-person study visit.
the trial is a randomized, open label, crossover, single-administration bioavailability study to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of Omexa sumatriptan transmucosal sublingual tablet versus commercial Imitrex® sumatriptan oral tablet in 14 healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this migraine prevention study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AST-726 in moderate to severe migraine patients at one of two doses compared to placebo and compared to a baseline period as measured by a reduction in the number of migraine days.
The objective of the study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of PFO closure with the BioSTAR Septal Repair Implant System in a population of patients that have refractory migraine (with aura) and who have failed medications.
