Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a single peroral dose of 0.5 g and 1.0 g metamizol relative to placebo and 1.0 g acetylsalicylic acid in 2 episodes of moderate tension headache.

Parenteral diphenhydramine is commonly used as adjuvant therapy for acute migraine despite the fact that data supporting this practice do not exist. The investigators propose a randomized double blind study to test the hypothesis that 50mg of intravenous diphenhydramine, when added to standard migraine therapy, will result in a greater rate of sustained headache relief than standard migraine therapy alone. For this study, standard migraine therapy will be 10mg of intravenous metoclopramide. Sustained headache relief is defined as achieving a headache level of "mild" or "none" within two hours and maintaining a level of "mild" or "none" for 48 hours. Patients who present to the Montefiore emergency room (Bronx, NY) with an acute migraine will be approached for participation. They will be screened for medication contra-indications and non-migraine etiologies of headache. The study will be randomized. Assignment will be concealed. Participants and researchers will be blinded. Efficacy outcomes and adverse events will be assessed every half hour for two hours in the Emergency Department and by telephone 48 hours after medication administration. A sample size calculation, based on pilot data, revealed the need for 374 participants. An interim analysis will be performed after 200 participants have been enrolled with the goal of assessing for lack of conditional power.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in monthly migraine days.

Propofol has been used in adult populations to treat migraines as an abortive agent. Investigators plan to investigate its efficacy as an abortive agent in the pediatric population when administered as a safe low-dose infusion. Goals of the study are to: Evaluate efficacy of low-dose propofol infusion as an abortive agent in pediatric migraine headaches Evaluate effective and safe dosing limits in pediatric populations Evaluate duration of effect reached from a low-dose propofol infusion as an abortive agent Endpoints for the study will be: Number of enrolled patients Safety endpoints reached, including: cardiopulmonary depression, excessive somnolence Risks of the study are minimal due to the use of sub-anesthetic dosing of propofol under the guidance and supervision of a board certified pediatric anesthesiologist with the appropriate monitoring equipment and readily available emergency equipment. Investigators hope to demonstrate more rapid improvement and decreased side-effect as compared to standard care.

To evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in monthly migraine days, in adults with episodic migraine.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of zolmitriptan nasal spray (ZNS) in the acute treatment of migraine headache in subjects ages 6 to 11 years. Part 1: Approximately 20 weeks (includes screening and double-blind treatment). Screening will be performed based on the inclusion exclusion criteria specified in the study protocol. Randomize approximately 288 subjects into the double-blind crossover phase. Part 2: Approximately 100 subjects who complete the double-blind crossover phase will enter part 2, a 6 month open-label safety extension (OLE). Efficacy will be evaluated in the double-blind part of the trial. Safety will be evaluated in both the double-blind and the OLE.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 doses of ubrogepant (50 and 100 mg) compared to placebo for the acute treatment of a single migraine attack.

This study involves a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of behavioral weight loss as a treatment for migraine in obese females aged 18 to 50 years. The primary aim is to examine whether participants assigned to a behavioral weight loss treatment condition report greater pre- to post-treatment reductions in migraine headache frequency than participants assigned to a migraine education condition.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous fluid (0.9% sodium chloride and water) alone on headache pain in children with migraine visiting the Emergency Department.

This study will use an open-label design to evaluate the safety of NP101. Adult subjects who meet the enrollment criteria will be treated with NP101 (sumatriptan succinate iontophoretic transdermal patch) for acute migraine attacks over a 12 month period.
