About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Migraine Disorders

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • aged 18 to 65 years
  • newly-diagnosed patients with migraine without aura (International Headache Society classification)
  • symptom frequency (at least 2 episodes of migraine attack/month)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • prior use of preventive medication
  • patients with cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking)
  • patients who take antihypertensive agent or antidepressant
  • patients who were pregnant, breast-feeding or actively smoking
  • patients with neurological or cerebrovascular diseases

    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    Topiramate

    Arm Description

    topiramate 25mg twice for 1 week -> topiramate 50mg twice for 7 weeks

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Comparison of the Cerebrovascular reactivity
    Transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) was performed twice in migraineurs before and after the topiramate treatment during their interictal period of headache. Measurements: the mean flow velocity (MFV) of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA). After 1 minute of adaptation period to the darkness, flashlights of 10 Hz were presented using a light source of an electroencephalography machine (PS40/R-220, Grass Technologies, West Warwick, USA). Recordings were performed for 10 cycles, and each cycle consisted of 10-second stimulation-on and 10-second stimulation-off. Calculation: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) CVR = Δ V/Vb or Δ V/(VbxΔT) Where Vb is the baseline MFV, Δ V/Vb is the percentage MFV increase (amplitude), ΔT is the time from the onset of the stimulation to the peak MFV, and Δ V/(VbxΔT) is the slope of the MFV increase.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Comparison of the mean flow velocities in the middle and posterior cerebral artery
    Measurements: Same as outcome 1.
