Filter by:Patients with both, migraine and endometriosis, present the case-group, while women with endometriosis without migraine serve as controls. The primary endpoint is endometriosis stage confirmed by laparascopy compared to the control group. Further points to compare between groups are infertility, dysmenorrhea, dyschezia, dyspareunia, number of operations, family history with first-degree relatives, and age of first symptoms for both conditions and age at first operation. Secondary endpoints to evaluate in percentages within the migraine group are migraine frequency, migraine aura/non-aura, age at migraine start, hormonal migraine, family history, treatment response, response to prophylactic agents, localization, types of aura and triggers. Other medical conditions and comorbidities like depression will be noted as well as response to Dienogest treatment. In the questionnaire we will ask 62 Questions overall. The Questions for endometriosis are based on a questionnaire from the world endometriosis research foundation and to evaluate the severity of the migraine we will use the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment) questionnaire (8).
Headaches are more common in the month of Ramadan in patients who already suffer from migraine. The object of the present study is investigate the frequency in the Ramadan month .
This study evaluates the efficacy of eptinezumab to prevent migraine and headache in patients with the combined diagnosis of migraine and medication overuse headache
Numerous treatments have been recommended for the prevention of migraine. The purpose of this randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial was to assess the efficacy of MIGRAINEGUARD ™ supplement by Herbacure Natural containing a combination of COQ10 , magnesium, riboflavin ,feverfew , Skullcap and black pepper as prophylactic treatment for migraine.
Comparison of efficacy and safety of amitriptyline and nerve blocks
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of physiotherapy program and review the associations between neck movements, pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements and quality of life in individuals with migraine.
The main aim of the present pilot study is to prove the possibility to use the Nitroglycerin (NTG) model to describe the pathophysiology of headache using task-free advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques, in order to depict the static changes of the ictal and inter-ictal phase of migraine attacks vs the pain free state in healthy subjects and to compare that with the spontaneous headache attack experienced by chronic migraineurs.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of self-administered intranasal cooling for the symptomatic relief of migraine headache and associated symptoms in an "at home setting". 10-20 patients - who have been diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache disorders (2nd Edition) criteria for Episodic migraine, with or without aura - will be included in the study. During a screening period of one month participants will record their migraine symptoms, any treatment and treatment effects. After a minimum om two migraine attacks the participants receive individual instructions on how to use the The RhinoChill® system. During the following treatment period of the study, participants are instructed to treat their upcoming three migraine attacks with 10 minutes of nasal cavity cooling according to the instructions and thereby register symptoms and treatment effects after 10 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours.
Erenumab, a monoclonal antibody acting on the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, is an effective and safe migraine-specific preventive drug. The use of migraine-specific preventive drugs paves the way for a novel method to study migraine pathogenesis. Migraine is a complex disorder with several genetic and epigenetic influence, including that of microRNA. Several microRNAs, including those of inflammation and of endothelial function, have high expression levels in subjects with migraine; however, the findings of the available studies are insufficient to provide epigenetic biomarkers for migraine. Besides, little evidence is available on the role of migraine preventive treatments in the expression of microRNA. The study aims at evaluating the expression profiles of microRNAs before and after erenumab treatment prescribed according to clinical indication. The study will include women with episodic or chronic migraine treated with erenumab 140 mg monthly according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and local reimbursement criteria. The study will compare the expression profile of microRNAs in women with episodic and chronic migraine; besides, it will investigate differences in migraine-associated microRNA expression according to age, migraine characteristics, pain intensity, response to erenumab, migraine-related impact and disability.
Population studies estimate that patients who have episodic migraine transition to chronic migraine at a rate of about 2.5% per year. CM is a devastating disorder associated to severe disability. Patients with CM frequently overuse symptomatic medications in the attempt to control their disease, which adds up to the high costs associated to the disorder In this frame, it seems of the outmost importance to strive at preventing the transition from EM to CM. At the moment Onabotulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) represents the only drug specifically approved for CM prophylaxis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of BoNT-A in reducing the number of migraine days in a population of migraineurs with a high frequency of migraine attacks over a 12-month period.
