Filter by:Migraine is a common, debilitating neurologic condition affecting more than 900 million individuals worldwide. Established treatments for migraine include medications, vitamin and herbal supplements, neuromodulation, and behavioral treatment strategies. This study aims to determine whether a novel, home-based behavioral approach, combined biofeedback-virtual reality therapy, can improve self-reported migraine-related outcomes in individuals living with chronic migraine. In this randomized, controlled pilot study, 50 adults with chronic migraine are randomized to the experimental group (frequent use of a heart rate variability biofeedback-virtual reality device plus standard medical care; n=25) or wait-list control group (standard medical care alone; n=25). The primary outcome is reduction in mean monthly headache days between groups at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include mean change in acute analgesic use frequency, depression, migraine-related disability, stress, insomnia, and catastrophizing between groups at 12 weeks. Tertiary outcomes include change in heart rate variability and device-related user experience measures.
Medication overuse headache is the chronicity of headaches, which occurs more than 15 days a month, as a result of frequent use of painkillers, opioids or migraine attack drugs (ergotamine, triptan) in individuals with pre-existing primary headache disease. In the treatment of this headache, two ways can be followed as slow drug discontinuation or sudden drug discontinuation. The most commonly used method is the sudden discontinuation of the overused analgesic agent, the initiation of prophylactic treatment, and then the application of bridge therapy for 6-10 days. Intravenous hydration, steroids, antiemetics, neuroleptic drugs and local anesthetic drugs such as lidocaine can be used in bridge treatment.
This is a phone interview research study for patients with migraine or medication-overuse headache (MOH) who have completed baseline MRI scans. Participants will be interviewed by phone at 3, 12, 24 months after the baseline MRI scans. The purpose of this study is to potentially identify the baseline brain functional or structural signatures (functional connectivity, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low frequency fluctuation, and so such) that are predictive of the short- and long- term outcomes as well as treatment response of migraine and MOH patients.
The NUMITOR study is an analytical observational study with an multicenter ambisective (retrospective and prospective) cohort design.
Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a type of headache caused by excessive use of acute headache or migraine medications (medications used to treat a headache or migraine once it begins). Treatment of MOH usually involves reducing the dose of or discontinuing acute medications. Eptinezumab is a medication used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. The main goals of this trial are to learn whether eptinezumab helps reduce the number of days with migraine, the number of days with headache, and acute medication use in adults who have migraine and MOH.
In the International Headache and Vertigo Registration Study, patients aged 4-99 years with headache (primary headache and secondary headache such as migraine and tension type headache), vertigo (vertigo diseases such as vestibular migraine) and chronic pain (fibromyalgia and other diseases) were collected. The biomarkers, imaging features, right-to-left shunt of the heart (lung), genetic characteristics, treatment, and outcome (in relation to other diseases) of headache-related diseases were studied, and long-term follow-up was planned.
It is planned to include 10000 patients. In the China HeadAche DIsorders RegiStry CHAIRS）, patients aged over 12 years with primary headache and medication-overuse headache(MOH) were collected. The biomarkers, imaging features, cognition, genetic characteristics, ocial and demographic data, medical data, therapeutics used, and outcome of headache-related diseases were studied, and long-term follow-up was planned.
Headache disorders are among the most prevalent medical conditions worldwide. The diagnosis of headache disorders is based on medical history taking. Digital solutions such as natural language processing (NLP) may be of aid to understand the linguistic aspects of headache attack and headache related disability descriptions by patients. Participants will provide a written description of their headache disorder. The results will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the potential use of NLP in headache disorders.

This study evaluates the efficacy of eptinezumab to prevent migraine and headache in patients with the combined diagnosis of migraine and medication overuse headache
