Filter by:The study aims to investigate the impact of 2 nutritional patterns on high-frequency episodic migraine. Subjects enrolled will be randomized in two arms: a) very-low-calorie-ketogenic-diet (VLCKD), b) hypocaloric balanced non ketogenic-diet (HBD).
The purpose of this study is to understand better the mechanisms of action of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) targeted monoclonal antibodies in migraine prevention. Specifically, the protocol will allow the investigators to determine whether the main site of action of this novel and recently-approved class of migraine prophylactic drugs act inside or outside the brain and if so, where.
Multi-center, prospective, randomized, placebo- and sham-controlled study to evaluate the GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder for migraine headache relief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab in patients with chronic migraine in Asian population.
Data role of salivary inflammatory markers in migraine and Tension Type headache (TTH) are lacking. Τhe investigators studied whether headache attacks are associated with changes in C reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin -1β and Interleukin -6 in saliva in patients with Tension Type Headache and Migraine and age matched healthy controls . Τhe investigators, also investigated whether these markers could be influenced by comorbidities such as depression and anxiety.
Brain white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are prevalent in migraineurs, of which the mechanism is still unclear. The investigators aimed to test the spatial association between areas with reduced cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to hypercapnic stimuli and consequent development of WMHs.
The purpose of this study is to identify a core fMRI feature that determines migrainous brain and plastic fMRI features that changes with longitudinal courses of migraine.
The aim is to compare the effectiveness of a behavioral treatment, the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, provided as an add-on to the prophylactic treatment (treatment as usual-TaU) against TaU only on the reduction of monthly headaches frequency over 12 months in a sample of patients with high-frequency migraine without aura (i.e. reporting 9-14 days with headache per month in the previous three months). ACT will be provided in small groups (5-7 patients each) by specifically trained therapists. The ACT consists in 6 weekly sessions, 90 minutes each, and 2 supplementary "booster" sessions, at two and four weeks after the conclusion of the weekly session. The main focus of the six ACT session will be the following: 1) Creative helplessness: the problem of control; 2) Identifying values: introduction to Mindfulness; 3) Actions guided by values: working with thought; 4) Working with Acceptance and Willingness; 5) Committed Actions: self-as-context; 6) Integration: working with obstacles - wrap-up. The booster session starts with a mindfulness exercise, followed by a review of the contents covered across the ACT program. TaU will consist of education of patients, followed by pharmacological prophylaxis. Prophylaxis is prescribed based on patients' profile, such as previous failures, contraindications and so on by a neurologist with expertise in headache treatments and limited to Topiramate, Propanolol, Amytriptiline or Calcium channel blockers. The study will be a Phase II Trial; randomized, Open-Label; Multicenter study. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to the two groups: 64 patients (32 per group) will be enrolled to detect an absolute difference of at least 2 migraine days/month in the experimental group (assuming alfa 5%, power 95%, up to 15% loss to follow-up).
The study is to assess the effectiveness of topically applied bimatoprost in reducing migraine headache frequency, severity, and duration. It will also assess the effect of topical bimatoprost on quality of life.
Sensitivity to Acute Middle cerebral or intracranial Carotid artery Occlusion in MIGrainers (SMCO-MIG) is a prospective multi-center study to determine if migraine induces a faster infarct growth as assessed by initial multimodal imaging.
