Psychological distress (anxiety and depression) is common in and experienced differently by people living with long-term health conditions (LTCs). Being able to measure whether psychological distress is related to living with a LTC would allow researchers and clinicians to provide interventions specifically tailored to the challenges of living with a LTC and therefore provide the most appropriate support for these patients. Such a measure would also be useful in research to identify the presence of illness-related distress in different patient groups. This project will therefore create a new measure of illness-related distress that has applications for both research and clinical practice. This will involve the psychometric validation of the new illness-related distress measure to test how valid and reliable the measure is. The aim of the project is to provide initial validation of the Illness Related Distress Scale in a community sample, recruited through online platforms. The objective of the study is to gather initial validity and reliability data for the scale.
This is a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized two-part clinical trial with an adaptive design. This study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and the optimal dose of the Mi-Helper transnasal cooling device for acute treatment of migraine in an at home setting. This study will be conducted in two parts. The first part of this study aims to determine the most effective dose of Mi-Helper and the second part aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the most effective dose of the Mi-Helper device for the acute treatment of episodic migraine in adults. Adults aged 18 years to 65 years old with a diagnosis of episodic migraine (with or without aura) for at least one year (self-reported) will be recruited for this study.
Migraine attacks are episodic disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population, and studies have shown that 41-48% of migraineurs have a combination of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Clinical Observational studies have been linking PFO occlusion with the effectiveness in improving migraine symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks. However, several RCTs have shown negative primary results, making it unclear whether PFO occlusion is effective in treating migraine. Our study is a multi-center cohort study aiming to find the correlation between PFO closure and migraine attacks.
This study is a single-arm, self-controlled clinical trial that explores and evaluates the efficacy of middle meningeal artery embolization with coil in improving migraine symptoms. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
For some patients who come to the emergency department for treatment of a migraine headache, peripheral headache nerve blocks (PHNB) have proven to be an efficient and effective treatment for headache relief. Previous studies have demonstrated that adding steroids as an adjunct treatment to standard migraine treatment can reduce recurrence of headaches in the subsequent few days.
Randomized study of two digital therapeutics for the prevention of episodic migraine in patients currently receiving Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) Inhibitor Therapy
The purpose of this study is to learn how safe and effective zavegepant is compared to placebo in the acute treatment of migraine in Asian adults. Migraine is a very painful headache with other associated symptoms such as nausea, photophobia and phonophobia. A placebo is a harmless treatment that has no medical effect. This study is seeking for participants who: - have at least 1 year of migraine history before entering the study. - have 2 to 8 migraine headache attacks of moderate or severe intensity in each of the 3 months before entering the study. - have less than 15 days with headaches in each of the 3 months before entering the study. The headaches could be either due to migraine or not. The participants in this study will receive zavegepant or placebo through intranasal route. Intranasal means medicine which is given through nose. Zavegepant or placebo will be taken if the participants have a migraine headache of moderate or severe intensity. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving zavegepant to those of the people receiving placebo. This will help see if zavegepant is safe and effective in Asian adults. Participants will be in this study for up to about 16 weeks. Participants will have 3 study visits at the study clinic and 1 through telephone contact.
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.
Migraine is a very common condition characterised by frequent severe headaches that are very debilitating. Although the frequency and severity does reduce as patient's age, particularly above the age of 70, in younger and working age people this condition has a significant impact on people's lives. Patients with migraine are typically diagnosed and managed in primary care, but can also be treated by neurologists. Recently, NHS England has published guidance for clinical staff to optimise patient management: reduce admissions to hospital for migraine and improve the setting in which patients are seen. One recommendation is the increased use of headache diaries by patients. These may help patients and doctors to improve migraine diagnosis and its treatment, for example by identifying if there are triggers for getting a migraine attack. With technological advancements, there are now computer/phone applications (Apps) that can be used instead of a paper diary. The Curelator N1 Headache App is one of such migraine specific Apps. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate if primary care migraine patients are open to using a digital headache diary App, and how compliant users of the App will be. The investigators also aim to assess patient feedback on the use of the N1 Headache App, and if its use aids them in the management of their migraine.
