A study to compare rizatriptan (MK0462) 5 mg by mouth (p.o.) and sumatriptan 50 mg p.o. for the acute treatment of a migraine attack.
The purposes of this study are to assess whether subjects treated with BOTOX will: 1. have a decrease in the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches 2. experience improvements in quality of life 3. experience a reduction in the frequency of health care services obtained.
Migraine headache occurs frequently in women more than men and is associated with symptoms not only of significant pain but also of symptoms typically including of photophobia, phonophobia, nausea and vomiting. Many migraine patients report difficulty in cognition from lack of concentration, difficulty in word finding or inability to remember. Many of these cognitive symptoms seem to be independent of the pain intensity and may occur completely separately from the headache pain but can be disabling. It is likely that the frequency and importance of cognitive symptoms associated with migraine are underreported. The Mental Efficacy Workload Test (MEWT) is a computerized battery that is designed to be an efficient and accurate measure of cognition during migraine headache. Treximet is a new migraine treatment recently FDA approved for the treatment for the relief of acute migraine that may be effective for the cognitive symptoms for migraine patients who have a history of cognitive dysfunction during a migraine headache. The primary efficacy parameter is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with Treximet versus placebo in patients with acute migraine headache measuring neuropsychological function using the MEWT during the migraine and comparing that score with a prior MEWT score when the patient had no migraine symptoms. A double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study was chosen so that each patient may be her or his own control. It is the intent of this study to determine the type and intensity of cognitive dysfunction associated with migraine headache and to what extent that Treximet may relieve the cognitive dysfunction in a safe and effective manner.
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 is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active comparator-controlled study of LY2590443 in approximately 200 participants with migraines.
Dexamethasone is a safe and cheap abortive therapy for migraine headache. The effect of it is never evaluate and not correlate with the effect of popular anti migraine medication such as dihydroergotamine. The investigators proposal is to compare its effect with dihydroergotamine.
Intraject is a needle-free, single use, disposable, subcutaneous delivery system pre-filled with 6mg Sumatriptan to be used by patients to treat acute migraine treatment. Study participation will last one month and include 2 doctor visits and 2-4 phone calls.
Understanding the speed at which migraine headaches develop is of importance to patients. Determining the proportions in which different headache pain build-up occurs, may provide health care practitioners with valuable information with which to prescribe the most appropriate treatment. Patients who experience a slow pain build-up may gain more benefit from medications which have a slow onset of effect, high tolerability and long action. Conversely, medications with a rapid onset of effect may be of greater benefit to patients who experience rapid onset of migraine pain.
Staccato Prochlorperazine is being developed to treat patients suffering from acute migraine headaches. In October 2005, we completed a 75 patient, multi-center, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2A clinical trial in patients suffering from moderate to severe acute migraine headaches. This Phase 2B clinical trial of Staccato Prochlorperazine has been initiated to assess the efficacy and safety in outpatients with migraine headache with or without aura.
