Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The objective of this study is to provide remote mindfulness session(s) to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of erenumab on functional impact due to Migraine in adults.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the contract-relax technique of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and the static stretching exercise are effective in reducing the frequency, intensity and duration of headache and in improving the perception of quality of life in women with migraine.

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effect of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide-38 (PACAP38) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) on intracranial arteries and neuronal activity in patients with migraine without aura using a high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including MR angiography (MRA) and functional MRI (fMRI). MRA will be used to detect changes in intracranial artery circumferences before and after PACAP38 and VIP. fMRI will be used oo detect changes in blood-oxygenation-level-dependent-signal (BOLD-signal). PACAP38 but not VIP induces migraine like attacks in migraine patients. The migraine specific drug sumatriptan will be given to relieve pain and the effect will also be registered using MRA and fMRI.

The investigators hypothesized that migraine without patients with many genetic loci associated with migraine (high genetic load) would be more sensitive and get provoked more migraine attacks by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) compared to patients with few genetic loci associated with migraine (low genetic load).

This is a pharmacokinetic (PK) study designed to investigate a combination product containing sumatriptan succinate and naproxen sodium administered at 3 single doses (10mg sumatriptan/60mg naproxen sodium, 30mg sumatriptan/180mg naproxen sodium, 85mg sumatriptan/500mg naproxen sodium) in adolescent migraine patients. The same doses will be also administered to a group of healthy volunteer (HV) adult subjects and the PK parameters will be compared between these two groups and between doses.

Evidence-based medicine depends on distinguishing between pharmacological effects and placebo effects in randomized controlled trials (RCT). This proposal seeks to rigorously investigate fundamental questions concerning pharmacological effects, placebo effects and their interactions. Relief of symptoms of acute migraine will be the test condition for this scientific experiment because of migraine's evident clinical significance and the possibility of using participants as their own control during sequential acute migraine attacks. Our overall goal is to elucidate how the pharmacological effects of 100 mg rizatriptan (an FDA-proven effective medication for acute migraine) and the effects of placebo treatment can be modified by varied knowledge and/or expectation ("contextual") conditions. Such knowledge has the possibility to suggest potentially more efficient methodologies to test new medications that can be used to augment and enhance the apparatus of the RCT. General Aim: To elucidate and clarify what is a pharmacological effect and what is a placebo effect, how such effects vary in different knowledge/expectations contexts, and mutually constitute one another and interact. General Hypothesis: The measured pharmacological effect of an effective medication (rizatriptan) and the measured effect of placebo treatment are determined significantly by different knowledge/expectations contexts.

The aim of the present study is to explore functional consequences of migraine gene mutations on their responses to GTN infusion.

We will use Cilostazol as a tool to investigate its headache inducing effects in migraine patients.

The purpose of this study is to measure how much of the drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it during an acute migraine attack and also during the time between acute migraine attacks. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. This study includes two study periods. Each study period requires an overnight stay in the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) for at least one night (and up to three nights), followed by up to two outpatient appointments. This study will last approximately 5-6 weeks (not including screening). Follow-up is required four to seven days after last dose of investigational drug. Screening is required within 28 days prior to the start of the study. This study is for research purposes only and is not intended to treat any medical condition.
