Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a migraine prevention medicine works for people who have migraines/headaches with their menstrual period. The study includes people ages 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with migraine and who have a migraine with their menstrual period or those who have migraines with their menstrual period and at other times of the month as well. The main question the study aims to answer are: • Does fremanazemab, an injectable calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway targeting therapy, decrease migraines associated with menstruation? Participants will - have an evaluation and examination by a headache specialist physician - will receive the study medicine or inactive substitute every three months for two treatments - fill out diaries about their migraines - have tests on saliva to measure hormone levels Researchers will compare the people who get the medicine to those who get the inactive substitute to see if there are differences in response.
Post-marketing, retrospective, observational survey study. Users (menstruating women only) of Nerivio who have used Nerivio at least 4 times between October 2019 and December 2020 will be contacted by email and/or through an app notification and will be asked to complete a 5-minute online anonymous survey assessing satisfaction, effectiveness, and safety. Eligible users will sign an informed consent form (the consent language will appear as the first page of the survey, and participants will click either "agree" or "disagree" to the consent statement; those who click "agree" will proceed to the survey, those who click "disagree" will be brought to an exit page) and complete a survey asking about their satisfaction with Nerivio and the effectiveness and safety of the device for acute treatment of menstrual migraine. During the survey, participants will be screened to verify that they have menstrual migraine (self-reported) and have used Nerivio to treat menstrual migraines.
The objective of this phase 2 Proof.of Concept study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sepranolone (UC1010) in preventing menstrual migraine attacks in adult women with migraine occurring between Day -2 and Day 5 of the menstrual cycle. Patients will be taking Sepranolone or Placebo (blinded to patient and study doctor) during the two week preceding the menstruation for three menstrual cycles. Effect (change from baseline) will be assessed by comparison of symptoms recorded daily by the patients using an electronic diary using validated scales for assessment of menstual migraine symptoms. Sepranolone is identical to an endogenous steroid.
This pilot study is designed to validate the diagnostic ability of a novel APD for auricular point detection among patients with menstrual migraine (MMG), as compared with an already commercialized device.
An increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) during migraine attacks is possible and could contribute to pain initiation and maintenance. From now on, it was not possible to measure ICP in a non-invasive way. The development of a new tool allows non-invasive self-measures of ICP variations. Thus, it is possible for the first time to look for such ICP variations during migraine attacks and to conclude if this mechanism is implied in the pathophysiology of migraine.
This study is designed to make comparisons between acupuncture and acupressure for preventing menstrual migraine (MM). Whether acupuncture is superior to acupressure is the most interesting point of this study. First of all, females will be screened for eligibility. Then, all participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be asked to keep a headache migraine diary for three months as baseline data. The diaries will then be collected before the first treatment. Then, all the participants will receive the corresponding interventions on the eighth, fifth and second days before the estimated first day of menstruation (determined individually from the diaries) in each month for three months (menstrual cycle), making a total of nine treatment sessions. After the whole treatments, there will be a three-month follow-up period. All the participants will be asked to complete the headache diaries every month from baseline to the end of the study. The diaries recording data from the fourth to the ninth month will then be collected at the end of the ninth month for the second time indicating the end of the study for the participants. In case of an acute migraine attack, participants will not be restricted from using "normal" medications.
The study is to primarily investigate whether Treximet® (Imitrex RT/naproxen sodium 500mg) taken at the first onset of menstrual migraine will both terminate the acute headache and assist in preventing headache recurrence and the need for repeat abortive therapy over the ensuing days of menses.
Migraine is one of the commonest neurological disorders, affecting up to 12% of the general population, but remains relatively under-diagnosed and under-treated. Migraine has a wide socioeconomic impact and brings a large economic burden; estimates suggest that disability due to migraine costs > €27 billion per annum across Europe. Despite its prevalence and impact, migraine pathophysiology is poorly understood. A wider understanding of the functional changes in this disorder would be beneficial to both diagnosis and treatment. Saccades are the rapid eye movements we make when moving the eyes to a new object in our visual field. Reaction time studies have been used to investigate Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease with great success. These use saccadic tasks (monitoring eye movements). Even at rest we make approximately three saccades per second, so a lot of data can quickly be gathered with non-invasive testing. We hope to understand more of the underlying mechanisms of migraine by studying reaction time in migraine patients. Our previous pilot study, with less stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, looked at fewer patients (32 migraineurs and 32 controls), and found that migraineurs showed significantly different saccadic patterns to non-migraineurs. This study firstly seeks to corroborate the saccadometric findings of our earlier pilot study in a group of migraineurs, and secondly to explore the specificity of these findings in migraine by also studying patients with another primary headache syndrome, namely cluster headache. Migraine is known to be a dynamic disorder, with previous studies showing longitudinal changes in the migraine brain. To explore this further we hope to record longitudinally (Every day for 21 days) in a small subset of migraineurs to identify potential longitudinal changes in saccadic reaction time. Because of the portability of the equipment this could be done in the subjects own home if they preferred.
The purpose of this study is to (1) evaluate pain-free efficacy of Treximet™ following treatment of menstrual migraine, (2) investigate levels of Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), estrogen, cortisol, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), alpha (a)-amylase, Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) and beta (ß)-endorphin in saliva before and after Treximet™, (3) evaluate efficacy of Treximet™ to return to baseline levels following treatment, and (4) correlate estrogen in saliva vs. urinary estradiol at mid-luteal, onset of menstrually-related migraine, and after successful treatment with Treximet™.
We are looking for women who suffer from menstrual migraine to participate in a 2-visit migraine brain imaging research study. Our goal is to see how the menstrual migraine brain's pain pathways function when the migraineur has been taking Frovatriptan. During the screening visit (Visit 1) participants will sign the informed consent form, complete questionnaires, meet with the study physician, and have QST (quantitative sensory testing: to determine your pain thresholds for a heat stimulus) performed. For Visit 2's MRI scan, subjects will be asked to lie very still while the scan is occurring. In some parts, they will not have to do anything, while in others they will be asked to rate pain and unpleasantness for brush and thermal stimuli. Participants are compensated for both visits.
