Responding With Evidence & Access for Childhood Headaches

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This comparative effectiveness study will clarify current first-line preventive treatment approaches for use by neurologists, psychologists, and primary care providers in the context of real world care, and will demonstrate the feasibility of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) via telehealth for youth with migraine. The focus is on applying evidence-based care and enhancing access to it. CBT via telehealth while taking a clinically-prescribed, pill-based prevention therapy (amitriptyline) will be compared to CBT via telehealth alone.

Clinical Trial Description

Migraine is the second most disabling disease in the world. Research has primarily focused on treating migraine in adults; however, approximately 10% of children and adolescents have migraine, suggesting that up to 7 million youth are impacted in the United States alone. Given that the majority of youth have migraine symptoms that persist into adulthood, there is a critical need to identify and improve access to the most effective preventive migraine treatments for this population as a means of reducing the long-term healthcare burden and functional impairment of this illness. This comparative effectiveness study will test CBT while taking a clinically-prescribed, pill-based prevention therapy (amitriptyline) to CBT alone. Participants will be involved in the study for approximately 28 weeks, with the first 4 weeks being a baseline period and the next 8 weeks involving six telehealth CBT sessions for both study groups (CBT while taking a clinically-prescribed pill-based prevention therapy [amitriptyline] compared to CBT alone), and dose titration of clinically-prescribed medication (amitriptyline) for the CBT + clinically-prescribed, pill-based prevention therapy (amitriptyline) group. During the remaining 16 weeks the participants will maintain the dose of medication (in the CBT + clinically-prescribed, pill-based prevention therapy (amitriptyline) group) and attend "booster" CBT sessions held three times over 4 months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
