Filter by:Background: Migraine is a very common neurobiological disorder caused by increased excitability of the Central Nervous System. It is among the causes of the highest morbidity worldwide. Migraine has considerable economic and social impact ; affects the quality of life of patients and disrupts work life, social activities and family life. To decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks may be the first goal than treating the attacks. The study was designed as a Parallel Group, Add on, Randomized Controlled Experiment in order to observe the effects of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches, frequency and severity. Methods: Participants will be divided into 2 parallel arms, intervention and control (treatment as usual). Cluster randomization will be performed to prevent intergroup contamination. Breathing techniques will be taught to the intervention group by the researcher. Both groups will continue to use pharmacotherapy for migraine. Both groups will be evaluated with migraine disability level (MIDAS) at the beginning and end of the study. The primary output of the study is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the frequency and severity of attacks in migraine-like headaches. The secondary output is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the MIDAS level. Discussion: The results of the study will provide information about the effect of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches. The results of this study will contribute to the literature, since migraine is among the chronic diseases and pharmacotherapy options are limited.
In this project, the aim is to recruit patients with drug resistant epilepsy and those suffering from migraine. Interestingly, patients suffering from epilepsy are also more often reporting to suffer from migraine. The pathobiology is understudied, but it is believed that both etiologies results from brain networks changes. A clinical certified 7T Terra Siemens scanner will be employed to assess in all participants (including healthy controls) how the microstructure differs in disease specific areas. Patients will further be clinically assessed as well as undergo questionnaires.
1. To assess the criteria of positional vertigo in vestibular migraine patients 2. To assess the effect of vestibular rehabilitation therapy in management of positional vertigo in vestibular migraine patients
In this study,189 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tizanidine Hydrochloride in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.
In individuals diagnosed with migraine, laughter yoga will be performed for 45 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month. the other application group will watch funny videos for 45 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month.
The clinical trial is focused on the treatment of selected patients with a migraine after implantation of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) based on previous neurological examination. Patients will be randomized and divided into two groups. According to randomization patients will receive saline or botox into the epidural space. The efficacy of treatment will be compared and estimated in both groups during different SCS settings. Data will be collected in pre-set time frames.
This study aims to detect changes in RNFL thickness in patients with different types of migraine in comparison to healthy control. This will be accomplished by comparing the optic nerve head (ONH) parameters, RNFL thickness, and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) in migraine patients with age and sex matched healthy control.
Migraine is a fairly common disease that is a leading cause of disability worldwide. 15% of the general population suffer from migraine headaches. Although there are currently many options for the treatment of acute migraine, these treatment options, such as acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), triptans, combinations analgesics and antiemetics, have insufficient efficacy and significant side effects. Therefore, there is a need for new treatment modalities in migraine. Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is gaining interest as an effective treatment for migraine, other headaches and facial pain syndromes. In our study, we aimed to block the Sphenopalatine ganglion with a local anesthetic drug and compare it with the placebo control group.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of cervical stabilization exercise training applied with telerehabilitation in individuals with migraine.
The term "refractory" migraine describes a particularly aggressive form of the disease in which the patient does not benefit from any of the preventive therapies with the various classes of drugs available, including treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed against Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). Anxiety, depressive symptoms, somatization, and pain hypersensitivity are significantly more prevalent in refractory migraineurs than in non-refractory subjects who benefit from preventive therapies, suggesting that these symptoms may contribute to treatment refractoriness. Recently, in a preliminary study on the efficacy of a CGRP-targeting monoclonal antibody in Chronic Migraine (CM) patients with at least 3 failures to previous preventive treatments, the investigators showed a higher prevalence of psychological disturbances in those who did respond to the monoclonal antibody compared with the responders. These data, although preliminary, point to a more psychologically complicated picture in non-responder patients compared with responders. To date, however, no neurobiological evaluations are available to explain how psychological comorbidities may contribute to treatment refractoriness. Isolated clinical evidence and growing pre-clinical evidence suggests a role for the endocannabinoid system in migraine. Hence, the present study aims to identify psychological and biological factors associated with refractory migraine. The investigators' hypothesis is that patients presenting with psychological disorders may bear an associated dysfunction of the endocannabinoid system, which makes them more resistant to migraine preventive therapies, including monoclonal antibodies directed against CGRP.
