Filter by:This is a prospective, observational study. The participant will be required to approve his/her participation in the study by completing the electronic consent form. Data collected within the first eight weeks (weeks 1-8) will be used to develop the prediction models (either personal or population/group models). The developed algorithm will be freezer and tested against the data collected during weeks 1-8 of a different cohort population
Researchers are trying to find out more about the side effects of fremanezumab when treating patients with Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) for migraine headaches.
Migraine is a very common, neurological disorder, characterized by recurrent episodes of headache, potential progression to more frequent and severe attack patterns, and associated symptoms. In Spain, the prevalence rates are 12-13% and in women up to 17-18% Migraine has been shown to largely impair patient's Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), affecting work, household chores, social activities and family life. Recurrent headache attacks and frequently persistent fear and concern about the next attack disrupt the patient's familial, occupational and social life, and reduce his/her expectations for career and financial future. The consequences of this loss of productivity is also shared in his/her private life with their family. For this reason, not only the clinical benefit but other dimensions as HRQoL or work affectation should be added to the study of the benefits of migraine treatment. Migraine pathophysiology pathways may be shared with other illness, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) . The purpose of the present clinical trial is to evaluate whether erenumab, at a target dose of 70 mg or 140 mg for a period of 12 months, impacts Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among patients withchronic migraine (CM) or High-Frequency Episodic Migraine (HFEM) who are affected with at least one comorbidity (fibromyalgia, fatigue and IBS). Data from this study, will provide additional information to help clinicians in treating patients with migraine and other illness.
Migraines are very common and affect over 35 million Americans a year. Migraines can be painful and affect daily life. The cause of migraine is multifactorial and not completely understood. Treatment usually includes different classes of medications, life style changes, physical therapy, acupuncture, nerve stimulators and avoiding common triggers (like bright lights, certain foods, or loud sounds). For some patients, Botox injected into the muscles of the forehead and neck can significantly reduce pain. Unfortunately, this does not provide long-term relief as the effect of Botox lasts for 3 months. Since year 2000 surgery to treat a selected population of migraine patients has been gaining popularity and showing promising results. The surgery reduces the pressure on the peripheral nerves that are believed to cause migraine headaches by resecting the surrounding tissue (bone, fascia, muscle, and arteries). This surgery provides a more long-term and permanent relief. The purpose of this study is to follow the effectiveness and outcomes of migraine surgery.
This is a randomized study for the prevention and acute treatment of migraine using open label nVNS and standard of care versus standard of care. .
Crossover, randomized, double blind: Q12h dosing in both periods; matching placebo for evening dosing during XR treatment; target dose: 100mg
Several observational studies have shown improvement in episodic migraine with the use of greater occipital nerve block as an acute therapy, and a recent placebo controlled trial did not show a decrease in frequency of episodic or chronic migraine; however, there has never been a placebo controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of GONB as an acute treatment for headache, and there has been no determination of guidelines for selection of patients who would be most likely to respond to GONB. In light of the above, the investigators propose a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial examining the use of GONB with lidocaine/bupivocaine in patients with an acute episodic migraine. The results of this trial are expected to guide more appropriate therapeutic management of these participants and the optimal use of this procedure. 50 subjects will be entered into this study. This study is being conducted at Thomas Jefferson University only.
Collectively, evidence shows that a combination of medication and behavioral therapy is most effective for migraine care. The ED is a critical point of contact with the health care system for many migraine patients; in current practice, it is a missed opportunity to initiate and establish a comprehensive migraine management paradigm. Behavioral headache treatments (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), biofeedback, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)) are effective migraine treatment options that are essentially free of side effects. PMR has also been successful as a technique that patients can do independently. Studies have shown that combination pharmacological-behavioral therapy is most effective for migraine treatment. Several aspects of this study are innovative, including: 1. Initiation of preventive medication in a timely manner for migraineurs who present to the ED. 2. Introduction of PM+PMR in the ED at a time that can serve as a teachable moment. 3. Introduction of a smartphone application-based product (a minimal contact based behavioral therapy) in the ED setting to reduce headache disability, frequency, and intensity.
Randomized pilot feasibility study evaluating the impact of introducing behavioral treatment for migraine in the Emergency Department (ED) and prescribing migraine preventive medications in the ED. The study will examine the effect of these treatments, both individually and in combination, on pain severity and headache-related disability. This study is designed to examine the feasibility of comparing four interventions for ED patients presenting with migraine. Group 1: Starting topiramate; Group 2: Doing a brief behavioral intervention; Group 3: Treating with combination therapy of topiramate and behavioral intervention; and Group 4: Standard of Care.
PF-05180999 is a novel phosphodiesterase-2 (PDE2) inhibitor. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of PF-05180999 administered twice daily over 14 days. Exploratory measures of PDE2 inhibition will also be evaluated in blood and blister fluid.
