Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The present non-interventional study on migraine prevention with monoclonal CGRP antibodies adresses questions concering safety, swichting from one CGRP mab to another, efficacy on auras in the real world setting.

Migraine is a fairly common disease that is a leading cause of disability worldwide. 15% of the general population suffer from migraine headaches. Although there are currently many options for the treatment of acute migraine, these treatment options, such as acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), triptans, combinations analgesics and antiemetics, have insufficient efficacy and significant side effects. Therefore, there is a need for new treatment modalities in migraine. Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is gaining interest as an effective treatment for migraine, other headaches and facial pain syndromes. In our study, we aimed to block the Sphenopalatine ganglion with a local anesthetic drug and compare it with the placebo control group.

The purpose of this clinical study is to better understand the function of the autonomic nervous system in patients with migraine. We aim to understand whether the autonomic functions change depending on the migraine status (i.e. whether they are between or during attacks) and whether the CGRP monoclonal antibody (mAb) class of drugs affects the autonomic functions. The aim is not to investigate the effect of CGRP-mAb on migraine frequency. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a neurotransmitter in the nervous system that plays an essential role in the development of migraine headache. Monoclonal antibodies can block the function of this messenger substance. Several studies have shown that this blockade leads to a reduction in the frequency of migraine. In addition to its role in migraine, CGRP also acts on the blood vessels and the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for everything we have no control over in our body. This includes everything from heart rate and blood pressure to our digestion.

The goal of this observational study is to test the effectiveness and safety of Rimegepant in the treatment of migraine patients in real world. The main questions it aims to answer are: [question 1] the effectiveness and safety of Rimegepant in the acute treatment of migraine [question 2] the effectiveness and safety of Rimegepant in the long-term treatment of migraine. Participants will be asked to take Rimegepant when they need to treat or prevent a migraine attack. Participants will be asked to record the efficacy data at 0.5, 1, 2, 24, 48h post dose and report any AE to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Rimegepant in the acute treatment of migraine Participants will be asked to track monthly migraine days and the use of Rimegepant, finish 2 PROs during the follow-ups, report any AE to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Rimegepant in the long-term treatment of migraine.

The PERL Study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a self-administered preventive treatment for migraine headache using combined occipital and trigeminal nerve stimulation (Relivion®). This is a prospective, non-randomized, single arm, multi-center study designed to evaluate the use of Relivion® in reducing the frequency of headache days against a sham performance goal.

The aim of the present study to investigate whether Opening of KATP channels causes migraine pain by activation of meningeal nociceptors and ascending trigeminal nociceptive pathways. Opening of KATP channels causes migraine aura by induction of CSD.

Migraine attacks are episodic disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population, and studies have shown that 41-48% of migraineurs have a combination of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Clinical Observational studies have been linking PFO occlusion with the effectiveness in improving migraine symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks. However, several RCTs have shown negative primary results, making it unclear whether PFO occlusion is effective in treating migraine. Our study is a multi-center cohort study aiming to find the correlation between PFO closure and migraine attacks.

Background: An individualized internet-based treatment program from a biopsychosocial perspective has been developed within the Västra Götaland region (VGR) with funds from the Innovation Fund. The treatment program is called Learn to live with migraine and goes by the abbreviation I AM (Internet Approach to Migraine). I AM is a complement to the medical treatment and focuses on pain management and learning to live as good a life as possible with the disease migraine. During the spring of 2022, I AM has been tested regarding the feasibility of primary care on 29 research subjects in a pilot RCT (DNR 2020-02359). A weighted preliminary assessment shows moderate effect size on mental health, that the participants accept the intervention, and that I AM with recruitment and care process can be carried out in a primary care context. Purpose: An overall purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of the addition of the internet-based biopsychosocial treatment I AM compared to usual treatment (TREATMENT as usual - TAU) in primary care regarding frequency and severity of migraine attacks, functional level, mental health, quality of life and employment rate with a randomized controlled trial design (RCT). An additional aim is to evaluate whether it is possible to prevent episodic migraine from developing into chronic migraine among those who have episodic migraine at the start of the study via the supplement treatment program I AM. Expected results: The greatest expected benefit of I AM is to reduce the burden and suffering of migraines for all the people affected. AM is also expected to increase the availability of treatment with a biopsychosocial perspective, have a quality-enhancing effect in terms of method and increase the patient's participation in their treatment. An environmental aspect is that neither patient nor therapist need to travel, accessibility also increases for individuals living in smaller communities who receive equal treatment.

The investigators aim to determine the feasibility of a migraine self-management program.

The purpose of this study is to determine if intranasal (IN) Ketorolac in combination with oral Prochlorperazine and Diphenhydramine is non-inferior to current migraine management which involves use of intravenous (IV) Ketorolac and oral adjuncts Prochlorperazine and diphenhydramine for reducing pain intensity in children with migraine headaches. The investigators hypothesize that IN ketorolac combined with these oral adjuncts is non-inferior to IV ketorolac and oral adjuncts in reducing acute migraine headache pain by a minimum clinically significant difference within 60 minutes of administration.
