Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to estimate the frequency of neuropathic pain and migraines in a group of patients with osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, hands, spine or other joints. In addition to their usual care for osteoarthritis, participants will complete questionnaires to define migraine and neuropathic pain.
Migraine is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders, posing a significant global public health concern. Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is the most common congenital heart anomaly in adults. Mechanisms linking PFO to migraine include cortical spreading depression, vascular active substance theory, impaired cerebral autoregulation, and genetic susceptibility. Understanding these mechanisms holds promise for overcoming challenges in the prevention and treatment of migraines in PFO patients. At least 11 observational studies, comprising 1,632 subjects, described the efficacy of PFO closure in cryptogenic stroke. Of these, 34% had migraines, and percutaneous PFO closure reportedly reduced migraine days by 81% (with a reduction of over 50% in monthly migraine days). Prospective randomized controlled trials (PRIMA and PREMIUM trials) assessing the Amplatzer® PFO Occluder showed significant benefits in most secondary endpoints, with a pooled analysis indicating its safety and effectiveness compared to medical therapy.While traditional metal PFO closure studies suggest symptom relief, reports also mention potential new-onset or worsened migraines post-closure. Proposed mechanisms include platelet activation, microthrombus formation, nickel allergy, and septal deformation or stretching inducing the release of migraine-related vascular active substances. However, these theories are closely tied to the presence of permanent metal implants. Addressing these concerns, the MemoSorb® biodegradable PFO Occluder system, approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in September 2023, offers an innovative solution. Developed collaboratively by the National Biomedical Materials Engineering Technology Research Center, Professor Wang Yunbing's team, Professor Pan Xiangbin's team from Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and HeartTech Medical, this groundbreaking technology represents a shift from metal to degradable materials. The occluder serves as a temporary bridge post-implantation, gradually degrading with endothelialization, facilitating comprehensive self-repair. This intervention concept theoretically avoids the lifelong complications associated with traditional metal occluders, effectively reducing postoperative symptoms like migraines and dizziness. To assess and compare the treatment outcomes, especially in relieving migraines, a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled study has been designed for patients with patent foramen ovale and migraine, comparing the novel biodegradable occluder with the metal occluder.
To compare the frequency of acute attack and mean pain score ( assessed by visual analog scale) among subjects using either flunarizine or amitriptyline among patients with migraine coming to tertiary care Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. In this study 84 patients with migraine Age ranged between 18- 60 years, Both genders having 3 or more migraine attacks per month, normal systemic and neurological examination and not having taken any prophylactic medication for the last 4 months will randomly divided into two equal group of 42 subjects each.
The purpose is to investigate whether the Blue Cut for Night filter is better at reducing migraine compared to the FL-41 filter or a filter blocking light below 500 nm. A control group will use clear lenses without filter. This is a controlled, randomized and double-blind trial.
This is a pilot study that aims to understand the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile health educational app plus group-based mindfulness therapy on anxiety and migraine-related disability among people with migraine.
This will be a randomized double blind cross over interventional trial to determine if Avulux lenses are able to reduce headache symptoms in patients
The purpose of this study to show that zavegepant 10 milligrams given through the nose provides: - freedom from pain, 2 hours after taking the medicine for the first migraine attack. - consistent freedom from pain, 2 hours after taking the medicine across 4 separate migraine attacks. This study is seeking participants who: - are 18 years of age or older. - have migraine attacks present for at least 1 year with age onset before 50 years old. - have migraine attacks, on average, lasting about 4 to 72 hours if not treated. - have 3 to 8 attacks per month but less than15 headache days per month. If the participant is fit to take part in the study, the participant will receive either the study medicine zavegepant or placebo. A placebo looks like zavegepant but does not contain active ingredients. The study medicine will be given using nasal spray device containing a single amount of zavegepant or matching placebo. The participants will be instructed to take the study medicine at home if participants have a migraine headache which reaches moderate or severe pain intensity. The participants are expected to treat up to 4 migraines of moderate to severe intensity. After taking the study medicine, the participant is not allowed to take any other medications for at least 2 hours after taking the study medicine or placebo. Participant can take other medicines after the 2 hours if the migraine is still present. The participant is expected to record on a paper log all medications taken throughout the study. The study duration is around 26 weeks. This includes a 28-day screening window, up to 20 weeks of treatment period, and a follow up visit at about 4 weeks after taking the study medicine the last time. The participant is expected to come into the study center up to 4 times. There will be up to 3 telephone contacts including one after taking the study medicine the first time or Month 1 whichever comes first, at Month 3 if the participant is still in the study, and a safety follow-up. During the study, the participant is expected to complete two sets of questions in an app on a smartphone. This step is done before and after taking the study medicine. The participants must rate: - Pain - Pain symptoms - How the participants are feeling - General well-being
Assessment of the role of volumetric MRI in evaluation of different types of migraine .
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate two different non-drug, virtual treatment options designed to improve the lives of patients with migraine. Both interventions involve 8 weekly sessions and an online platform with additional content and learning. Participants can stay on all their medications during this study. Information from this study may help determine how to better treat migraine.
This study was planned to investigate the effects of coping skills training on pain, quality of life, disability level, and coping skills in individuals with migraine.
