Filter by:This is a 2 visit research study for patients with or without a diagnosis of migraine. Participants will be administered informed consent, have a medical history taken and a physical examination performed, and complete 3 questionnaires at the first visit. The participants will have a functional MRI performed after completion of Visit 1. Study stipends will be given for each completed research visit. The purpose of this study is to potentially identify risk factors and/or biomarkers (which are differences in the brain structures)by comparing the brain MRI scans of migraine sufferers to brain scans of control persons to attempt to identify migraine progression using the functional MRI scans.
The circadian system with its centre in the hypothalamus is involved in migraine pathophysiology. Whether it plays a pivotal role is not clarified. The investigators postulate that a destabilized circadian system may increase migraine attack susceptibility, and that stabilization by supplying melatonin a migraine preventive effect will be achieved. A previous open label study has shown effects that certainly warrant a placebo controlled study.
Subjects enrolled at 2 investigative sites will complete 3 visits. Following Visit 1, during a 1-month Baseline Period, subjects will treat with their usual medication and document any warning signs (Prodrome pre-headache) that a migraine will occur. Following randomization (like a flip of the coin) at Visit 2, subjects will treat daily with topiramate or during Prodrome with frovatriptan. Subjects complete a 2-month Treatment Period before exit at Visit 3.This study will compare the effectiveness of daily treatment vs. treatment during the pre-headache phase for prevention of migraine.
This study was designed to determine how well the combination medication, sumatriptan and naproxen sodium, treats migraine headache in adolescents 12-17 years old
Patients suffering from migraine will be randomly allocated to one of two different behavioral interventions: - mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) an eight week intervention program based different meditation & yoga techniques and teaching information regarding the relationship between stress and health. - into an active control group teaching three times within eight weeks relaxation techniques (progressive muscle relaxation PMR) and giving psychoeducation on migraine. The investigators will measure the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks before during and after the intervention as well as secondary variables on quality of life and psychological functioning. The hypothesis is that patients allocated to the MBSR intervention will reduce the frequency of their migraine attacks compared to the active control group and compared to their own baseline.
Assess the safety and efficacy of Staccato Loxapine in patients with moderate to severe migraine headache with or without aura in an outpatient setting.
This study will provide additional efficacy data for rizatriptan when used for an acute migraine attack in patients already taking topiramate for migraine prophylaxis.
This study will use an open-label design to evaluate the safety of NP101. Adult subjects who meet the enrollment criteria will be treated with NP101 (sumatriptan succinate iontophoretic transdermal patch) for acute migraine attacks over a 12 month period.
The addition of clopidogrel on top of aspirin may reduce the occurrence of new-onset migraine headache episodes following transcatheter ASD closure.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect on blood pressure of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium combination tablets, tablets containing only sumatriptan, and tablets containing only naproxen sodium when these drugs are taken to treat migraine headaches that occur during a 6-month period.
