Although the predictability of an MRM headache attack lends itself to preventative treatment, there are currently no drugs specifically indicated for the prevention of MM. Such preventative therapies might be administered either short term (during the time around the period otherwise known as the peri-menstrual period or PMP) or continuously throughout the menstrual cycle. Frovatriptan has been developed for the management of migraine and is already licensed for use as an acute treatment for this condition. Previous well controlled clinical trials have highlighted the potential of frovatriptan as a short-term preventative medication for MM. This clinical trial was meant to further explore this indication for frovatriptan in an expanded population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is elevated in patients with active migraine headaches. Secondary goal is to determine whether other inflammatory markers, such as Calcitonin Gene Peptide (CGRP), Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP) or Substance P (SP) are elevated in patients having a migraine headache.
Migraine was described as related to stroke in adults and children as well. Complete thrombophilic status was not study in large groups of pediatric patients. The purpose of our study is to assess the prethrombotic profile among children and teenagers diagnosed as suffering from migraine attacks.
2/3 of patients discharged from an emergency department after treatment for an acute headache will still be bothered by headache within 24 hours of emergency department (ED) treatment. The goal of this study is to compare two medications, naproxen and sumatriptan, to determine which is better for the treatment of recurrent headache within 24 hours of emergency department discharge.
This is a single-center, open-label, pilot trial to collect and evaluate data on the safety and efficacy of duloxetine in the preventive treatment of subjects experiencing episodic migraine headaches. Following a 28-day baseline period, qualifying subjects will be entered into an 84-day treatment period. Subjects will be titrated over the first four weeks to a dose of 120mg or their maximally tolerated dose (MTD). The dose adjustments will be based on individual subject response and/or subject's tolerability. Subjects will maintain a daily diary capturing detailed information on migraine headache days.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of telcagepant (MK-0974) in the long-term treatment of acute migraine in adult participants. The primary hypothesis of this study is that telcagepant is well tolerated in the long-term treatment of acute migraine in adult participants.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of telcagepant (MK-0974) compared to an approved medication for acute migraine. This study was conducted as a "triple-dummy" design; for each dose of study drug, participants each received 3 forms of study drug (2 capsules of active and/or placebo and 1 tablet of active and/or placebo) and were instructed to take one of each form of study drug at dosing time. The primary hypotheses of this study are that telcagepant is superior to placebo in Pain Freedom at 2 Hours Post-Dose, Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-Dose, Absence of Photophobia at 2 Hours Post-Dose, Absence of Phonophobia at 2 Hours Post-Dose and Absence of Nausea at 2 Hours Post-Dose.
The purpose of this study is to see how safe and effective Lacosamide (LCM) is when taken by mouth, twice a day for up to 18 weeks to prevent migraines.
We are testing the hypothesis that subjects in the treatment group will experience fewer fasting induced headaches as compared to those in the placebo group.In our clinical experience, we estimate that approximately 25% of our headache population experiences fasting-induced migraine or hunger-induced migraine. With a given migraine incidence of 28 million in the United States alone, we estimate that approximately 7 million will experience hunger as a migraine trigger. If an individual has a known migraine trigger, then there are a variety of ways to modify care in order to address that trigger. The simplest is to avoid that trigger or preemptively treat that trigger. Frovatriptan has good evidence for daily use for a short time to help prevent menstrually related migraines. A short course of treatment can often avoid the initiation of the migraine and improve quality of life. Knowing that a longer acting triptan, such as frovatriptan, has demonstrated capability at suppressing headache through a known trigger, suggests the need to study this with fasting induced migraines, as well.
