Filter by:Migraine is a significant health problem in the United States with 34 million Americans suffering from migraine attacks every year. High-flow oxygen has been successfully used in several clinical studies. Vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the scalp has been proposed as a possible mechanism of action. Some researchers have suggested that the cooling effect of high-flow dry oxygen may be in part responsible for the pain relief. The main objective is to test the hypothesis that the pain relief obtained during high-flow trans-nasal gas therapy is due to the cooling effect of dry gas on the nasal mucosa. The study entails recruiting patients from a headache clinic, being escorted to the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) Johns Hopkins Bayview and randomized into different groups (humidified oxygen, dry air, humidified air and dry oxygen). Eventually, patients will be asked to fill out a questionnaire on pain, nausea, sound and light sensitivity graded on a scale of 1-10. Readings are noted at baseline, 15 mins, 2 hours and 24 hours post-therapy.
Dexamethasone is an evidence-based treatment of acute migraine. This is a randomized comparison of two different doses of dexamethasone for acute migraine. All patients will also be treated with metoclopramide.
AM is a naturally occurring peptide in the body and consists of 52 amino acids. AM belongs to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) superfamily and has several structural, physiological and pharmacological similarities to CGRP, intermdine and amylin. In a randomized double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over design 20 migraine patients without aura recruited to receive infusion of adrenomedullin or placebo (saline).
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 study uses a single questionnaire to evaluate two separate primary outcomes: 1. To identify association between chronic headache in women who have given birth to children as compared to a control group of women who have raised children but have not given birth to them 2. To identify association between chronic back pain in women who have given birth to children as compared to a control group of women who have raised children but have not given birth to them
This is a 128-week open-label study to assess the long-term safety and tolerabilty of the monoclonal antibody erenumab in migraine patients.
This is a two arm study comparing smartphone based heart rate variability biofeedback using the HeartMath app and InnerBalance sensor to waitlist control on migraine quality of life.
MOVEMENT (Multimechanistic Treatment over Time of Migraine Symptoms) is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the long-term safety of chronic intermittent use of AXS-07 and to assess the effect of AXS-07 on migraine symptoms following repeated treatment of migraine attacks.
Migraine causes a substantial impact on the physical and mental health of a child and it is a major cause for time-off school leading to impaired academic performance. Therefore prophylactic treatment is suggested for adolescents with frequent or disabling migraine, aiming at improving the function, quality of life and reducing disability. The most commonly used non-pharmacological agents for the prophylactic management of migraine in adolescents are nutraceuticals. Amongst all nutraceuticals, most commonly used agents for prophylaxis are coenzyme Q10, magnesium, riboflavin, feverfew and butterbur . Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) or 6,8-thioctic acid, is an endogenous molecule which functions as an important co-factor for various enzyme complexes in mitochondria and plays an important role in energy metabolism.ALA is a nutraceutical agent which also has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been proved that the thiol level remains low in migraine patients. However, only one study has been done by Ali et al in the pediatric population where the combination of ALA and topiramate has shown promising results but the study result is not generalizable due to its inherent limitations. So, the study has been planned with an aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALA as add-on therapy with flunarizine in the adolescent age group
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and major depressive disorder (MDD) The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc of fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD on the reduction of MDD symptoms, responder rates in monthly migraine days, improving quality of life, improving disability, and the safety and tolerability of monthly 225 mg sc and quarterly 675 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD. The total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be approximately 28 weeks.
