Filter by:Background: An individualized internet-based treatment program from a biopsychosocial perspective has been developed within the Västra Götaland region (VGR) with funds from the Innovation Fund. The treatment program is called Learn to live with migraine and goes by the abbreviation I AM (Internet Approach to Migraine). I AM is a complement to the medical treatment and focuses on pain management and learning to live as good a life as possible with the disease migraine. During the spring of 2022, I AM has been tested regarding the feasibility of primary care on 29 research subjects in a pilot RCT (DNR 2020-02359). A weighted preliminary assessment shows moderate effect size on mental health, that the participants accept the intervention, and that I AM with recruitment and care process can be carried out in a primary care context. Purpose: An overall purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of the addition of the internet-based biopsychosocial treatment I AM compared to usual treatment (TREATMENT as usual - TAU) in primary care regarding frequency and severity of migraine attacks, functional level, mental health, quality of life and employment rate with a randomized controlled trial design (RCT). An additional aim is to evaluate whether it is possible to prevent episodic migraine from developing into chronic migraine among those who have episodic migraine at the start of the study via the supplement treatment program I AM. Expected results: The greatest expected benefit of I AM is to reduce the burden and suffering of migraines for all the people affected. AM is also expected to increase the availability of treatment with a biopsychosocial perspective, have a quality-enhancing effect in terms of method and increase the patient's participation in their treatment. An environmental aspect is that neither patient nor therapist need to travel, accessibility also increases for individuals living in smaller communities who receive equal treatment.
In this study,189 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tizanidine Hydrochloride in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.
This study aims to detect changes in RNFL thickness in patients with different types of migraine in comparison to healthy control. This will be accomplished by comparing the optic nerve head (ONH) parameters, RNFL thickness, and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) in migraine patients with age and sex matched healthy control.
This pilot study, modeled upon the successful and empirically validated HELP Prevent Diabetes Intervention, incorporates a migraine education component describing the links between lifestyle behaviors and migraine activity (e.g., frequency, impairment) into an existing lifestyle intervention used previously for Veterans at risk for developing Type II diabetes. The principal objectives of this research are to assess the feasibility, acceptability (recruitment), engagement (retention, adherence), and promise of implementing the HELP-VM at the Salisbury. To achieve our objectives, the investigators propose to assess the acceptability of HELP-VM by determining our ability to recruit Veterans to participate in the HELP-VM intervention as administered through the existing structure of the Salisbury VAMC's Whole Health Program, to evaluate the feasibility of implementing HELP-VM by assessing Veterans' adherence to HELP-VM and our capacity to retain them in a clinical trial, and to evaluate the promise of HELP-VM by obtaining preliminary data to estimate variances of primary (headache frequency, headache-related impairment) and secondary/exploratory outcome measures (e.g., emotional distress, use of analgesics/opiates, headache self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing) to inform a future, large-scale trial.
Recent data suggest involvement of Acid-Sensing Ion Channel channels in the pathophysiology of migraine making these channels a therapeutic target of migraine disease. The implication of Acid-Sensing Ion Channels is discussed through Acid-Sensing Ion Channel-1 which is the most expressed Acid-Sensing Ion Channel channel subtype in the central nervous system. In a mouse model, cortical spreading depression is inhibited by different Acid-Sensing Ion Channel blockers including amiloride which is a non-selective blocker of the Acid-Sensing Ion Channel-1 channel. From a translational perspective, an efficacy of amiloride on a series of migraine patients suffering from severe aura in open conditions. The APAM study is a proof-of-concept study that aims to evaluate the effect of amiloride in the prophylaxis of migraine with aura. This is a randomized crossover study versus placebo conducted in 3 French headache centers.
This is an open label pilot study to determine whether milnacipran can reduce headache frequency in episodic and chronic migraine sufferers.
