Active clinical trials for "Migraine without Aura"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Topiramate is effective in preventing the development of chronic daily headache among patients with episodic migraine headaches.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dronabinol MDI for the acute treatment of moderate to severe migraine headache.

The majority of migraineurs seeking secondary or tertiary medical care develop cutaneous allodynia during the course of migraine, a sensory abnormality mediated by sensitization of central trigeminovascular neurons in the spinal trigeminal nucleus. Triptan therapy can render allodynic migraineurs pain-free within a narrow window of time (20-120 min) that opens with the onset of pain and closes with the establishment of central sensitization. This calls for the development of drugs that can tackle ongoing central sensitization and render allodynic migraineurs pain-free after the window for triptan therapy has expired. There are two main objectives the investigators seek to achieve from this study: to determine whether oral administration of DFN-15 (solution of a COX2 inhibitor, Celecoxib) terminates migraine attacks when given to allodynic participants 3 hours after attack onset; and to determine whether mechanical and heat allodynia that develop during acute migraine attacks could be reversed by late (> 3hrs after attack onset) treatment with DFN-15. Participants will be recruited from the Headache Center and randomized in a double-blinded fashion to receive either the active drug (DFN-15) or placebo in a ratio of 4:1.The participants will be instructed to return to the clinic during a migraine. At the 'during-migraine' visit, which will begin 3 hours after onset of headache, the investigators will document headache intensity, associated symptoms, and mechanical and heat pain threshold (first) before treatment (at 180 min after onset of headache) and (second) at a 120 min after treatment (5 hours after headache onset). Based on our prior experience studying migraine patients, the investigators plan to screen 100 patients to achieve 50 participants completing the 2 study visits as planned. The active drug group will consist of 80/100 patients and 20/100 patients will receive the placebo. The study will be terminated as soon as the first 40 participants who received the DFN-15 and first 10 patients who received placebo completed visit 2.

Evaluation of headache response at 2 hours for active treated attacks for increasing dose.

The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on attack frequency, pain intensity, and disability in migraine without aura patients who receive prophylaxis treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of triptans and doxycycline on neuroinflammatory markers in acute migraine.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Laxymig® ER compared with placebo in prophylactic monotherapy treatment of migraine headache.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of antihistamine (Clemastin) on migraines triggered by pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide-38 (PACAP38) as well as on biochemical markers for mast cell degranulation in migraine patients. Also, to investigate the occurrence of migraine in migraine patients after infusion of PACAP38 in lower dosages than previously investigated. As this has never been done before it is unknown how a lower dose of PACAP38 will affect 1) the incidence of migraine attacks, 2) the accompanying symptoms, 3) head pain characteristics, and 4) debut and duration of migraine attacks. Our three hypotheses are: Pre-treatment with Clemastin reduces PACAP38 sensitivity and inhibits development of migraine in migraine patients. Clemastin inhibits the increase in plasma concentration of TNF-alpha, histamine and tryptase after PACAP38-infusion. PACAP38 in lower dosages (4, 6 and 8 pmol/kg/min) induces migraine in migraine patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 120 Unit, and 240 unit of botulinum toxin A are effective in the treatment of migraine without aura prophylaxis.

Hypothesis: Acupuncture obtains an abiding effect on migraine prophylaxis Design: A open-label randomized controlled trial. 249 participants will be included. Three arms: acupuncture in acupoint-meridian， non-acupoint-meridian group, and waiting list.
