Filter by:The primary objective of this Study is to compare the effect of transcatheter device closure of atrial shunting to a non-closure control group over a period from cessation of procedure related medication at 3 months until 9 months post randomization by determining the proportion of patients that experience a 50% or more reduction in the baseline monthly migraine attack frequency in each group.
Migraine headaches are a common reason for patients to present to an emergency department. We are comparing two different medications to see which one is better for patients who present ot an emergency room with a migraine headache.
After infusion / injection of Glyceryl trinitrate and Diamox it is wished to study the effect of drugs on the cerebral haemodynamics such as Cerebral blod flow and cerebral blod volume.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Rizatriptan, a migraine medication, lowers motion sickness in migraine sufferers.
Chronic daily headache has been classified into several categories. One category is of sudden onset and is called New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH). Another category of daily headache evolves gradually and is called Transformed Migraine (TM). This research study is being conducted to compare people with these two kinds of daily headache in order to improve our understanding of these conditions.
This is a research study looking at Migranal (study drug) in the treatment of two migraine attacks in patients who have a history of cutaneous allodynia (pronounced q-tay-nee-us al-o-din-ee-a). Cutaneous allodynia is an increased skin sensitivity experienced during a headache. It has been noted in several studies that in patients with migraine, seventy nine percent of the patients experienced allodynia on the facial skin on the same side as the headache. Understanding more about allodynia may help us understand how the pain system works in migraine. This study will compare the differences, if any, in attacks treated early with study drug (at 1-hour from onset) and attacks treated later (at 4-hours). You will be asked to treat one attack early and one attack late for this study. If the first attack you treat is early (at 1 hour following onset of throbbing pain) then the second attack you treat should be late (at 4 hours following onset of throbbing pain). It is hoped that this study will provide information on the use of Migranal in subjects who have cutaneous allodynia. The results from this study may be used in the development of larger clinical trials. The study drug is a medication that is taken in the form of nasal spray.
The purpose of the study is to show the efficacy of a single dose of PRO-513 for treating subjects suffering moderate pain form a migraine attack, with or without aura. The study is also intended to show the effectiveness of PRO-513 for associated symptoms of nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia due to a migraine attack.
Cutaneous allodynia (pronounced q-tane-ee-us all-o-din-ee-a) is common in migraine. It is a heightened skin sensitivity during an active migraine attack. Migraine attacks in patients who experience allodynia are more difficult to treat. This study intends to collect and evaluate data on the phenomenon of allodynia in patients with episodic migraine during an actual attack. The results of this study may help clinicians better understand allodynia, thereby helping them diagnose and more effectively manage patients with migraine and allodynia.
Greater Occipital Nerve Blocks (GONB) are a common procedure used for the treatment of headache. The GONB procedure involves a series of injections into the greater occipital nerve (a spinal nerve located at the back of your head). The purpose of this study is to determine whether GONB is effective for the treatment of prolonged migraine attacks. This study is placebo controlled, which means that half of the patients participating will receive injections of active study drug (lidocaine plus bupivicaine) and half of the patients will receive injections of saline (placebo). The study is also blinded which means that neither you nor the study staff will know whether you received active study drug or placebo. The study remains blinded only for the first 30 minutes, at which point additional treatments (including GONB) can be administered at the discretion of your treating physician. 40 patients are expected to participate in this research study. This study is being conducted at Thomas Jefferson University only.
This study was designed to determine efficacy of TREXIMET (sumatriptan/naproxen sodium), formerly known as TREXIMA compared to placebo for the treatment of a menstrual migraine.
