Filter by:This is a real-life, observational, single-center cohort study to describe the efficacy of prophylactic treatment in patients after failure of at least 2 prophylactic treatments. Patients included in the study will be followed up in consultations or day hospitals according to their usual care, and will be asked to complete the MIgraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS), Headache Impact Test short-form (HIT-6), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale and Work and Personal Activities Impairment (WPAI) questionnaires at each visit. Data describing their care will be extracted from computerized patient records.
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.
A migraine is a moderate to severe headache on one side of the head. A migraine attack is a headache that may be accompanied by throbbing, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, or other symptoms. This study will assess how safe and effective three different doses of atogepant is compared to placebo in adult Japanese participants. Change in migraine symptoms will be assessed. Atogepant (Qulipta) is an approved drug to treat adults with episodic migraine in the United States. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the 4 treatment groups called Arms to receive atogepant or matching placebo. There is 1 in a 4 chance for the participant to receive placebo. This is double-blinded study which means neither study doctor not the participant will know if the participant received atogepant or placebo. Approximately 520 adult participants with episodic migraine will be enrolled in approximately 50 sites across Japan. Participants will receive oral atogepant or matching placebo tablets once daily for 12 weeks. At 12 weeks participants assigned to atogepant dose A, dose B or dose C will continue to receive same treatment for 12 additional weeks and participants assigned to placebo will be re-randomized to receive atogepant dose A, dose B or dose C for 12 additional weeks. All participants will be followed for 30 days following last dose of study drug. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The safety and tolerability of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for adverse events and completing questionnaires.
This is a prospective single center, randomized, double-blind, 3 arm placebo-controlled study in subjects with migraine headache requiring prophylactic treatment. The patients will be randomized to receive Nicotinic Acid Extended-release tablet 500 mg or 1000 mg or placebo for 12 weeks. The safety and efficacy outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks.
