Filter by:This study is a single-center, randomized, double-blind controlled study. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups by envelope drawing. The subjects will be divided into two groups: the acute intervention group and the preventive intervention group. In each group, the subjects will be randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group by means of envelope extraction. Children and adolescents (7-20 years old) with migraine who met the inclusion criteria will be enrolled as subjects in the experimental group, and the changes in headache scores before and after the intervention will be compared. The intervention method is as follows: ictal intervention, in which subjects will be evaluated for headache improvement after a short intervention during an acute exacerbation. By wearing a vagus stimulator, the stimulating electrode will be located in the concha region rich in vagus nerve fiber endings, and the appropriate stimulation intensity will be adjusted for stimulation. Therefore, this study will verify the effect of nVNS on the acute attack and preventive treatment of primary headache in children and adolescents. Based on the electrocardiogram and electromyography indicators during the intervention process of nVNS, an objective evaluation system for the improvement of headache by nVNS is established, and the role of stimulation parameters on the effect is further explored to realize the optimization of parameters.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare intravenous (IV) fluids in pediatric patients with migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does a large amount of fluids (bolus) improve pain - Does a large amount of fluids (bolus) reduce admissions to the hospital for migraine Participants will be asked to report their pain and have vital signs checked every 30 minutes for two hours. Researchers will compare a large amount of fluids (bolus) to a small amount (half maintenance) to see if there is a difference in pain improvement.
This is a retrospective survey-study to assess the accessibility, preference, and frequency of adolescents using Nerivio by itself, in combination with pharmacological medications, or not at all, in the school setting. The study population is prescribed Nerivio users, under the age of 18 years old, who have used the Nerivio device at least once. The study will be conducted electronically, and will include eligibility questions, an electronic informed consent form signed by the parent/legal guardian (e-ICF), an assent form signed by the adolescent patient (e-Assent), and an e-survey relating to the management of headaches due to migraine attacks. Participants will be recruited from Nerivio's userbase and will be compensated for their participation.
This randomized controlled single-blind trial will include 60 pediatric migraine patients. Participants will be divided into two groups: one performing aerobic exercise, and the other conducting neck exercises. Assessments include attack frequency, severity, duration, and neck pain over three months.
Background: Migraine is a common neurological disorder that also has a significant prevalence in children. Although the exact etiology of migraine is unknown, recent studies suggest an association between intestinal flora and migraine, and tryptophan metabolism is an important link between intestinal flora and the nervous system. However, the role of tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine is not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the specific role of tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine. Study objectives: The main objectives of this study were to assess the changes in tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine and to explore their relationship with migraine attacks. Specific objectives include: 1. to determine the differences in tryptophan metabolites between children with migraine and healthy children; 2. to explore the correlation between tryptophan metabolites and migraine attacks 3. to assess the potential mechanisms of the role of tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine. Study methods: 1. participant recruitment: a certain number of pediatric migraine patients and healthy children were recruited as controls. 2. data collection: clinical information, medical history, and blood samples were collected from participants. 3. Tryptophan metabolite analysis: using appropriate experimental techniques, ELISA Statistical analysis: The main analyses included the following: 1. comparison of differences in tryptophan metabolites between migraine and control groups, using t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. 2. To assess the value of tryptophan metabolites in the diagnosis of migraine, ROC curve analysis was used to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC. 3. To explore the factors associated with tryptophan metabolites and migraine, multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk and protective effects of each factor on migraine. Experimental hypothesis: Our experimental hypothesis was that tryptophan metabolites may play a key role in the pathogenesis of childhood migraine, particularly kynurenine (KYN), quinolinic acid (QUINA), and kynurenic acid (KYNA). We hypothesized that in pediatric migraine patients, the concentrations of tryptophan metabolites would change significantly compared to healthy children. We further hypothesized that the concentrations of certain tryptophan metabolites correlate with the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Based on these hypotheses, our study will examine tryptophan metabolite concentrations in blood samples and perform a comparative analysis between pediatric migraineurs and healthy children. We will also explore the correlation between tryptophan metabolites and migraine attacks and determine their risk and protective role in childhood migraine through multiple logistic regression analysis. Outlook: The results of this study are expected to reveal the important role of tryptophan metabolites in the pathogenesis of migraine in children and provide a new basis for the diagnosis and treatment of migraine in children. In addition, the study may also provide theoretical support for the development of relevant therapeutic strategies and interventions, and provide new ideas for the prevention and management of migraine in children.
The goal of this basic science study is to learn about the brain mechanisms of chronic pain across different chronic pain syndromes in pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there shared and distinct brain systems engaged by different forms of pediatric chronic pain? - What are predictors of recovery from chronic pain? - What brain systems are associated with the spread of pain? For this study participants will undergo: - Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) - Quantitative Sensory Testing - Psychological Assessments
Chronic Migraine (CM) and High Frequency Episodic Migraine (HFEM) without Aura affect adolescents' lives in terms of reduced health, reduced ability to perform daily chores and reduced quality of life. The use of pharmacological prophylaxis in these patients warrants caution, whereas the use of behavioral treatments is gaining support in literature. The main aim of MINDKIDS trial is to test the effect of a seven weekly group sessions of guided mindfulness-based meditation program on 12-month headache frequency reduction, medications intake, disability, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, and caregivers' burden. This is a single-arm study. All patients will participate to seven weekly guided sessions (60 minutes each) of guided mindfulness meditation, which is aimed to teach and make direct practice with skills intended to enhance sustained, non-judgmental present moment awareness. The intervention's main topics are: posture education; breath use and control; guided body scan; work with sounds; tension release; guided imagery; decentralization of thoughts. Each session is conducted by a neurologist and a psychologist expert in mindfulness practice. During the sessions, patients are asked to close their eyes and focus their attention on the breathing so that they can concentrate on the present moment and on all the sensations. Patients were educated to promote a healthy lifestyle: regular physical activity, avoiding skipping meals, hydration, maintain a regular sleep/wake pattern at least 7-8 hours per night.
The purpose of the study is to investigate how the body absorbs, distributes, and get rid of eptinezumab when given directly into a vein.
Single-center, open-label, pre-post treatment pilot study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sphenopalatine ganglia blocks for the treatment of chronic migraine in the pediatric population. 50 children with a diagnosis of chronic migraines will undergo a series of three transnasal sphenopalatine ganglia blocks to measure their effect on headache frequency, headache intensity, headache duration, and use of headache medication.
This is a randomized double blind trial comparing an intranasal sphenopalatine block with 2% lidocaine to intravenous (0.15 mg/kg, max 10mg) prochlorperazine in patients greater than 10 years of age presenting to a pediatric emergency department with an acute frontal migraine headache.
