Filter by:This study will be a randomised placebo controlled trial examining the effectiveness of using an intranasal evaporative cooling device (the RhinoChill intransal device) in providing relief of pain and symptoms of acute migraine.The treatment works by introducing cooling into the passageways of the nose through two small cannulas thereby cooling the local nasal tissue and the blood vessels which supply blood to the brain. This cooling effect will cause the blood vessels to constrict as well as stimulating special cold receptors that are thought to be involved in the relief of migraine, thereby providing both pain and associated symptomatic relief. In total, 90 patients randomised in a 1:1 fashio n will be recruited from three different NHS Trusts. The patients will have a 30-day period of data collection for their current migraine frequency, treatment and response to medication (with a minimum of 2 migraine attacks recorded) before starting the treatment phase with the RhinoChill Device. Treatment will be for 3 migraine attacks. Only a single treatment is allowed for the first attack, but on the second attack the patient may deliver 2 treatments with a gap of at least 2 hours between treatments, if indicated.
Chronic pain is now widely understood to be due to central sensitization, which leads to exaggerated pain perception. Migraine is no exception, since it is well known that sensitization of the trigeminovascular pain pathway can occur during a migraine attach. There is early evidence that ActiPatch can help mitigate this sensitization, so this study is being conducted to determine the efficacy of ActiPatch in preventing chronic, episodic migraines.
To develop a pragmatic migraine model the investigators will induce headache in healthy volunteers with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (cilostazol). The participants will be pre-treated with sumatriptan. If the headache responds to sumatriptan, the model can be used to test new drug candidates.
Approx. one billion people are suffering from migraine worldwide and yet, therapeutic options are still very limited. Research suggests that changes in energy metabolism could be part of migraine pathophysiology. Ketone bodies (KB) are endogenous alternative energy substrates. Our clinical trial assesses the efficacy and safety of KB supplements in 60-90 adult migraineurs (5-14 migraine days / months) at the University Hospital Basel. The total duration of the trial is approx. 6 months, consisting of 4 weeks baseline, 12 weeks intervention with KB powder or matched placebo and 8 weeks follow-up. The primary endpoint is the change in migraine days at the end of intervention compared to baseline. Additionally, changes in gene expression, fat-, and glucose metabolism, inflammatory markers and quality of life will be examined.
Migraine is included in the top-ten disabling diseases and conditions among the Western populations. Non-invasive neurostimulation (t-SMS), including the Cefaly® device, for the treatment of various types of pain is a relatively new field of interest. The aim of the present study was to explore the clinical experience with Cefaly® in a cohort of migraine patients previously refractory or non-tolerant to topiramate prophylaxis. Patients were followed prospectively after having been diagnosed with episodic or chronic migraine with a previous failure to topiramate treatment and having consented to receive preventive treatment with Cefaly® according to their treating physician's suggestion. A 1-month period of baseline observation was followed by a 3-month period of active treatment with transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation (t-SNS) with Cefaly® as the only preventive treatment.
This is a randomized, double-blind, three-period, cross-over study to investigate the effect of sumatriptan (Imitrex) 100 mg on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of lasmiditan 200 mg.
Ketogenesis is a physiologic phenomenon due to starvation or ketogenic diet (KD), a drastic restricted carbohydrate dietary regimen that induces lipid metabolism and ketone body (KB) synthesis. We followed, in a dietician clinical setting, a group of migraineurs who randomly received a one-month prescription of experimental diet, followed by a one-month of carbohydrate progressive reintroduction, then another one-month of experimental diet, followed by a one-month of carbohydrate progressive reintroduction. Experimental diets are a very-low calorie KD, or an isocaloric non-ketogenic diet. Aim of our study is verify if during ketogenesis migraine improves.
This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, parallel-group, single dose study. This study will enroll up to 24 participants and will include 2 hepatic impaired participant groups and one group of control participants with normal hepatic function.
This will be a randomized, single dose, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Latin-square design with 5-period (full) crossover study with participants randomized to treatment sequences. Participants will complete all 5 Periods. During each Period, participants will come to the clinical research unit (CRU) and remain overnight before being dosed with a single dose of either lasmiditan, alprazolam, or placebo in the morning. Cognitive testing and driving simulation will be conducted post dosing. Participants will have a washout of at least 5 days between each Period. This study is designed to test non-inferiority of lasmiditan doses relative to placebo, with an alprazolam test versus placebo to confirm the sensitivity of the simulator to detect treatment effects.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, parallel-group, adaptive, single dose study. This study will enroll up to 32 participants using an adaptive design that can include up to 3 groups of 8 participants with different degree of renal impairment and one group of 8 control participants with normal renal function. Screening data will be reviewed to determine participant eligibility. Participants who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered in the study. First, approximately 16 participants will be enrolled with severe renal impairment and matched participants with normal renal function. There will be 8 participants in each of the following groups based on renal function at screening: - Group 1: Healthy participants with normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 90 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared [mL/min/1.73m²]) - Group 2: Severe renal impairment participants (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m²) Based on safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) results from participants with severe renal impairment (Group 2), Group 3 (Moderate Renal Impairment) and Group 4 (Mild Renal Impairment) will be enrolled if substantial change in the exposure of lasmiditan is observed in participants with severe renal impairment.
