Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, Dysport® when compared with placebo in preventing episodic migraine. A migraine is a headache with severe throbbing pain or a pulsating sensation, usually on one side of the head, and is often accompanied by feeling or being sick and a sensitivity to bright lights and sound. Episodic Migraine is defined as having less than 15 days of headache a month with at least 6 days with migraine headaches. Migraines are caused by a series of events which cause the brain to get stimulated / activated, which results in the release of chemicals that cause pain. Dysport® is a formulation of Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A), a medication that stops the release of these chemical messengers. The study will consist of 3 periods: A 'screening period' of 6 to 12 weeks to assess whether the participant can take part to the study and requires 1 visit. A first Treatment Phase of 24 weeks. On Day 1 and at Week 12 of the first Treatment Phase, participants will receive injections into various muscles across the head, neck, face and shoulders. The injections will contain either a dose "A" or a dose ''B'' of Dysport® or a placebo (an inactive substance or treatment that looks the same as, and is given in the same way as, an active drug or intervention/treatment being studied). Participants will make 4 visits to the clinic in person and have 4 remote (online) visits. A second Treatment Phase of 24 weeks (extension phase). At Week 24 and at Week 36, all participants will get Dysport® (dose "A" or dose "B"). There will be 3 in person visits and 4 remote visits. Participants will need to complete an e-diary and questionnaires throughout the study. Participants will undergo blood samplings, urine collections, physical examinations, and clinical evaluations. They may continue some other medications, but the details need to be recorded. The total study duration for a participant will be up to 60 weeks (approx. 14 months).

Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a type of headache caused by excessive use of acute headache or migraine medications (medications used to treat a headache or migraine once it begins). Treatment of MOH usually involves reducing the dose of or discontinuing acute medications. Eptinezumab is a medication used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. The main goals of this trial are to learn whether eptinezumab helps reduce the number of days with migraine, the number of days with headache, and acute medication use in adults who have migraine and MOH.

This study collects data from migraine and cluster headache patients during a three-month study. Contextual data (e.g. location or smartphone usage) and physiological variables will be used to assist machine learning algorithms in making predictions on activity, stress and sleep in patients with migraine or cluster headache.

Background: Headaches is one of the most common complaints of children in the ED and the treatment of pediatric migraine is largely based on extrapolation data from adult studies, limited pediatric trials, clinical experience and expert consensus. Despite the fact that dexamethasone has already been proven effective to reduce recurrence and is currently used in treating adults with migraine, no studies have looked at its use in the treatment of childhood migraine where relapse rate of about 50% are described in the 48h following successful treatment in the ED. Objective: To examine the effectiveness of parenteral dexamethasone at preventing migraine recurrence in children and to study the risk factors for migraine relapse after discharge from the ED. Methods: This a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial among all children 8 to 17 years of age with a presumptive diagnosis of acute migraine and treated with a standardized protocol in the ED of the CHU Ste-Justine, a tertiary care pediatric hospital. After the parenteral administration of prochlorperazine or metoclopramide and diphenhydramine, the patients were randomised to receive either dexamethasone or a placebo. They were excluded from the intervention if they had a known allergy or absolute contraindications to receiving parenteral corticosteroids, if they were already on a corticosteroid regimen or if they did not respond to the initial abortive migraine therapy. All included patients were discharged on a 48-hour course of naproxen and with a headache diary to fill out and return. The primary outcome was the incidence of relapse in the 24-48h following discharge from ED. The secondary outcomes evaluated were the mean level of pain, the use of rescue medication after ED discharge, the return rate to the ED or the visit to a health care professional within 7 days including hospitalisation. The associated symptoms, the adverse events after parenteral corticosteroids and the risk factors for migraine relapse were also evaluated. A telephone follow-up was made to ensure the headache diary was completed and returned.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of Topiramate, Amitriptyline Monotherapy and Combination Therapy in Migraine Prophylaxis in outddor migraine patients attending headache clinic. The main question it aims to answer is whether there is any difference between the efficacy of Topiramate, Amitriptyline monotherapy and combination therapy in migraine prophylaxis. Participants will take Topiramate, Amitriptyline Monotherapy and Combination Therapy and maintain a headache diary. Researchers will compare Topiramate, Amitriptyline Monotherapy and Combination Therapy groups to see if there is any differences in efficacy and safety.

This is a prospective single center, randomized, double-blind, 3 arm placebo-controlled study in subjects with migraine headache requiring prophylactic treatment. The patients will be randomized to receive Nicotinic Acid Extended-release tablet 500 mg or 1000 mg or placebo for 12 weeks. The safety and efficacy outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks.

A migraine is a moderate to severe headache on one side of the head. A migraine attack is a headache that may be accompanied by throbbing, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, or other symptoms. A number of treatments are available for adults with migraine but there are limited approved treatments available for participants less than 18 years of age. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of atogepant in pediatric participants between the ages of 6 and 17 with episodic migraine. Atogepant is a medicine currently approved to treat adults with episodic migraine (0 to 14 migraine days per month) and is being studied in pediatric participants between the ages of 6 and 17 with a history of episodic migraine. This is a Phase 3, open-label study of atogepant in participants with a history of episodic migraine. Participants must have completed participation in another study of atogepant (lead-in study) or completed the screening period of that study. Participants must have 4 to 14 migraine days and less than 15 headache days in the 4-week screening electronic diary (eDiary; similar to a smart phone). Around 250 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 100 sites worldwide. Atogepant is a tablet taken once a day by mouth. Participants between the ages of 12 and 17 will receive high dose atogepant for 52 Weeks. Participants between the ages of 6 and 11 will receive an atogepant dose determined in the lead-in study for 52 Weeks. There may be a bigger responsibility for participants in this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effects of treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

An non controlled, long term, multi center investigation

The main objective of this study is to see whether the favorable preventative effect of candesartan 16 mg per day in episodic migraine, that was found previously in two smaller randomized controlled cross-over studies, can be confirmed in a larger, multicenter, randomized controlled parallel group study. In addition it will be investigated whether 1) also a smaller dose of 8 mg is effective, and 2) whether the favorable side effect profile, seen in previous studies, can be confirmed, and whether it is even better with the smaller dose.

This Phase 2 trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABP-450 for migraine prevention in adults who suffer from six or more migraine days per month. The study will enroll 765 patients across approximately 64 sites in the United States, Canada and Australia. Study subjects will be divided evenly across a low dose group, a high dose group and a placebo group. All patients will receive two treatment cycles of ABP-450 or placebo utilizing the Company's novel injection paradigm.
