Filter by:Nerivio is a remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device that is FDA-cleared for migraine prevention (as well as for acute treatment of migraine), in individuals 12 and older. The study is a post-marketing, observational, prospective, real-world evidence study assessing the safety, efficacy, and health economics outcomes of Nerivio for migraine prevention in a real-world environment. The study population is naïve Nerivio users, aged 12 and up, who were prescribed Nerivio by their healthcare provider for either prevention treatment (for use every other day) or dual-use treatment (for use every other day and upon the onset of a migraine). The study period per participant is six months. During this period, participants will be requested to use Nerivio according to the instructions of their healthcare provider and to fill out a short daily questionnaire in the Nerivio application
This study examines cervical joint position sense in individuals with chronic migraine vs. healthy controls. The ability to reposition the cervical spine after active movement will be evaluated in different head positions. Impaired proprioception and motor control is hypothesized in the migraine group.
Vestibular dysfunction has traditionally been linked to various conditions that affect older adults. Recent studies have shown that children and adolescents suffer from vestibular impairments, yet the numbers are still low due to some factors, including the non-typical presentations. Vestibular migraine has been found to be the most common condition of vestibular dysfunction among children and adolescents. Nonetheless, most children remain undiagnosed due to lack awareness and vague clinical presentations. Parallel to that, there has been no consensus regarding the management algorithm. Most children are managed with pharmacological management extrapolated from the adult algorithm. Many clinicians fail to understand that pharmacological treatments are not sustainable long-term and should focus on lifestyle modifications such as sleep and dietary habits and other non-pharmacological treatments such as deep breathing exercises and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. This study aims to investigate the effect of non-pharmacological treatment in managing children and adolescents with VM. The investigators will use a standardised questionnaire before and after interventions to investigate the effect of lifestyle modifications, simple vestibular rehabilitation exercises and deep breathing techniques in children and adolescents with VM. Lifestyle modifications and vestibular rehabilitation exercise is a more sustainable way of managing children and adolescents with VM, avoiding the side effects of medication, and is more cost-effective. If the non-pharmacological treatment shows promising results, the investigators will continue with multicentre randomised-controlled studies.
This study aimed to investigate the role of the glymphatic system in the initiation of migraine attacks, using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging techniques and a validated model of migraine induction by nitroglycerin administration. Secondarily, the relationship between the function of the glymphatic system during nitroglycerin-induced migraine attacks and sleep architecture and plasma levels of migraine-involved neuropeptides will be investigated.
The purpose of this prospective and multicentric study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of lasmiditan as acute migraine treatment in a cohort of episodic or chronic migraine patients.
The purpose of this prospective and multicentric study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of rimegepant as acute migraine treatment in a cohort of episodic or chronic migraine patients.
The main goal of this trial is to learn whether eptinezumab helps reduce the number of days with episodic migraine in pediatric participants.
The goal of this single-case experimental study is to investigate the effects of intramuscular electrical stimulation for the treatment of trigger points on reducing the frequency of headaches in a small sample of patients with chronic migraine. Additionally, this study seeks to investigate the effects of intramuscular electrical stimulation to trigger points on reducing the overall headache intensity, impact and disability using research validated questionnaires.Intramuscular electrical stimulation is a treatment that uses needles to deliver electrical current into muscles, or trigger points, for reducing pain and improving function. Trigger points are painful spots within taut bands of muscle that produce pain when pressure is applied or spontaneously. Participants will be included if they have at least a 6-month history of chronic migraine headache. Due to the nature of the single case experimental design study, participants will each serve as their own controls and be randomized to various baseline measures where they will record headaches and symptoms using an electronic headache diary. During the intervention phase, participants will receive dry needling treatment with intramuscular electrical stimulation, and will continue recording in the electronic headache diary and complete all self reported outcome measures at the final treatment session.
Migraine is a common, yet often disabling, neurological disease that affects over 1 billion people around the world. It's the second most disabling disease globally and the leading cause of disability for people under the age of 50, especially women. The effects of migraine aren't limited to the individual, with a tremendous economic impact on families, friends, and employers. To help reduce this burden, research is now focusing on developing biomarkers that can help with diagnosis, predicting response to treatments, and identifying those at risk of developing chronic migraine. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are one of the most promising classes, as they can modulate gene expression and affect a wide range of cellular processes. Other studies have already observed different miRNA expression in those with episodic migraine or chronic migraine, but no specific miRNAs have been identified as a strong and specific migraine signature. miRNA-155 is of particular interest, as it has been linked to inflammation and pain, and may be a potential target for migraine treatments. It is known that the immune system plays a role in migraine headaches. Monocytes, a type of immune cell, may be involved in the development of migraines. Certain medicines, such as aspirin, can affect monocyte function and have been used to treat migraines. Recent research has also shown that microRNAs can regulate the activity of these cells and influence inflammation, which may be linked to migraine attacks. This study aims to investigate the role of miRNA-155 and monocyte differentiation in migraine patients, and in particular its association with migraine phenotype and severity. We aim to study three groups of subjects: Episodic migraine (EM), Chronic migraine with or without Medication Overuse Headache (CM-MOH) and Healthy Controls (HCs).
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.
