Filter by:This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, four-way crossover study. Each subject will receive each of the four study treatments once, followed by in-clinic monitoring and extensive blood sample collection for pharmacokinetic analysis. Dosing will occur approximately 48 hours apart, until completion of dosing in randomized order per the treatment sequence tables. Plasma samples from the dosing days will be sent to the analytical laboratory for analysis and tolerability for each of the dose levels will be summarized. After completion of the four dosing days, subjects will be assessed one final time and dismissed from the study.
Little is known about who adheres to migraine management strategies, and circumstances that enhance adherence. This knowledge is required to develop patient-level interventions to improve adherence to migraine management strategies. The proposed project will pilot the first patient level intervention designed to improve adherence to preventive and acute migraine management strategies. The study will identify people most at risk for non-adherence to migraine management strategies. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a tailored clinical decision support tool or education intervention.
Migraine headache is one of the disabling conditions that may be associated with decreased quality of life, anxiety and depression. Currently, therapeutic approach to migraine is mostly based on prophylactic and acute phase medication therapy. Some investigators consider migraine a biopsychosocial condition which means that psychological therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and relaxation, may be efficient in controlling the disease. According to previous studies, cognitive therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, have been efficient in decreasing frequency and severity of migraine, however, there are some challenges in applying these kind of interventions: the expenses; presence of multiple commodities that may lead to confusion and bewilderment for both therapist and patient; small number of trained psychologists for this intervention. The trans-diagnostic approach, however, can facilitate some challenges with the previous method. Since it is not focused on a single condition, trained psychologists with this approach can apply it for a wide range of conditions, including migraine. Also, the trans-diagnostic approach leads to lower chances of confusion and bewilderment for therapist and patients. The trans-diagnostic approach focuses on therapeutic modules instead of constant similar therapeutic models. The five cores of trans-diagnostic approach are emotional awareness, cognitive flexibility, recognizing and preventing emotion avoidance and maladaptive emotion driven behaviors, awareness and tolerance of emotion-related physical conditions, and introceptive and situation-based emotion-focused exposure. This method was first designed to replace cognitive-behavioral therapy for emotional disorders, due to its feasibility and applicability. The trans-diagnostic approach has been investigated by several researchers so far, however, most of those researches evaluate the efficacy of the technique on psychiatric disorders. It has also been investigated for treatment of headaches in adolescents. But no other study on other clinical problems or migraine has been conducted. Considering the high rates of comorbid anxiety and depressive symptoms in migrainous patients and the feasibility and efficacy of trans-diagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapy in other conditions, we aimed to evaluate its efficacy on controlling headache and related symptoms among migrainous patients.
The purpose of this project is to provide a new framework for diagnosing and monitoring treatment of light sensitivity and headache by objective measurement of facial features, pupil responses, retinal electrical responses and autonomic nerve responses to light.
The reason for this study is to see how effective and safe the study drug known as lasmiditan is in the acute treatment of 4 migraine attacks with or without aura.
RCT of Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Blocks using anesthetics vs. placebo for migraine.
The purpose of this project is to quantify normal and abnormal skin blood flow regionally in different areas of the body(face, extremities, over burns and wounds) at baseline and over time in response to treatment or environmental changes, such as temperature, light and pressure.
Existing treatments for acute migraine are not effective for all children and adolescents, and can cause side effects. Investigator propose a dose-finding study of melatonin for acute migraine treatment in children and adolescents to determine the best dose to bring forward in a future fully-powered efficacy trial.
This study design has two components: 1) a cross-sectional assessment of brain activity and inflammation in migraine patients compared to healthy controls and 2) an assessment of 8 weeks of a combination therapy approach to treating migraine.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of intranasal lidocaine on pain score in pediatric patients with migraine. Patients with significant pain after oral analgesics and plan for intravenous (IV) abortive therapy will be asked to participate. Half of patients will be given intranasal lidocaine and the other half will be given placebo. Pain scores and associated migraine symptoms (i.e. nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, avoidance of activities, and aura) will be monitored and compared between the groups.
