Filter by:This study is being conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that use of Treximet in patients with chronic migraine, when used on a short term daily basis and as rescue for break through attacks, will reduce migraine frequency and impact.
Researchers want to learn about work productivity after treatment of a migraine headache with your usual migraine medication as compared to your work productivity after treatment with Treximet. During this research subjects will take Treximet to treat 3 workday migraine attacks. For a second part of the research subjects will take their usual prescribed medication for 3 workday migraine attacks. The subjects will complete questionnaires after treating each migraine.
The purpose of this study is to determine a recommended dose of topiramate in participants with migraine (type of severe headache that occurs periodically and is often associated with nausea, vomiting, and constipation or diarrhea), to verify the superiority (statistically more effective) of the drug to placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial), and to assess if a same therapeutic effect can be observed between this study and overseas Caucasian clinical studies.
This is a research study to assess the safety of caffeine/propranolol at different dose levels. We want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on patients and their migraines.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous fluid (0.9% sodium chloride and water) alone on headache pain in children with migraine visiting the Emergency Department.
Despite the fact that more than 10% of Americans suffer from migraine, this headache disorder is often not diagnosed and not appropriately treated. The goal of this proposal is to determine whether a migraine protocol designed for use in an emergency room can be used to deliver the headache care that many migraine patients never receive. This is a randomized trial. Consecutive inadequately treated migraine patients will be randomized to TYPICAL care or to COMPREHENSIVE care. Those patients in the comprehensive care arm will receive the following intervention: 1) reinforcement of diagnosis, 2) an adaptable online educational intervention, reading material, and headache diaries, 3) two migraine specific medications and 4) expedited referral to a headache specialist, if needed. Patients in the typical care arm will receive whatever intervention the emergency physician feels is most appropriate. Headache surveys will be used toll if the protocol improves migraine-related pain and functional disability one month after the ER visit.
Twenty patients will be enrolled in a 2-site, 7-month, double-blind study conducted to evaluate a reduction in headache days and attacks and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels in saliva following treatment with OnabotulinumtoxinA versus saline. Eligible patients will be randomized and receive injections of OnabotulinumtoxinA or Saline at Visit 1. Following 3 months plus a 1 month wash out, patients will receive cross-over injections at Visit 5. Patients will return for monthly visits and exit the study at Visit 8. Patients will collect saliva at monthly intervals and document in a daily headache diary throughout the study .
The purpose of this study is to investigate the adequacy (reasonably good) of topiramate therapy (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) in prevention of migraine (type of severe headache that occurs periodically and is often associated with nausea, vomiting, and constipation or diarrhea) by comparing standard titration (slow increase in drug dosage, guided by patient's responses) therapy to slow titration therapy and slow titration therapy boosted by the concurrent use of propranolol in participants with migraine with or without aura (having to do with the ear) for more than or equal to 2 attacks per month.
Anti-migraine drugs, including triptans, are not indicated for use in pregnancy. However, the peak prevalence of migraine is in women of childbearing age. This, coupled with the sporadic nature of migraine attacks and high rates of unplanned pregnancies, makes unintentional exposure to anti-migraine medications during pregnancy likely. Prior to an anti-migraine medication being marketed there are few data available on drug safety in pregnancy: data from animal models may not translate directly to humans and pregnant women are routinely excluded from clinical trials. The Sumatriptan Pregnancy Registry was established by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 1996 to monitor the safety of sumatriptan during pregnancy. It was combined with the Naratriptan Pregnancy Registry in 2001 and data collection on the sumatriptan-naproxen combination (Treximet) began in 2008.
This is a multicentre, open label, prospective, randomized, two-attack study with active comparator in patients reporting inadequate response to analgesics and/or triptans to examine the efficacy of Rizatriptan 10 mg RPD in this group of patients.
