Filter by:In this study the investigators will investigate the following hypothesis - that hypoxia induce migraine headache and migraine aura - the aura phase is associated with a spreading reduction in cerebral blood flow - the migraine headache is associated with dilatation of intra- and extracerebral arteries - the migraine headache is associated with changes in brain metabolism - the pre-ictal stage of a migraine attack with aura is associated with specific patterns in neural activity.
Migraine has been described as one of the most common neurological diseases, with high social and economic impact. Despite the high prevalence, the pathophysiology of migraine is still unknown, several studies have been developed in order to advance the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease which are not yet entirely elucidated. The aim of this study is to observe the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), applied in the visual cortex, on neurophysiological and clinical measures (frequency, intensity, duration of attacks and severity of pain) in migraine patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel therapy for treatment of migraine, pain reduction and relief of associated symptoms during ongoing migraine attacks, and presence of a preventive effect post treatment.
The purpose of this study is to look at two different diets (a low carbohydrate diet and a low fat diet) for migraine prevention in overweight or obese persons with migraine. The overall aim is to test the theory that diet will improve migraine frequency and that such improvements will be associated with favorable changes in body weight, inflammation, and heart health.
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 purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the integrated care program of a statutory health insurance offering additional homeopathic treatment to their members
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.
