Migraine and CVD Risk in Women
MigraineThe primary goal of this study is to test the effects of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate mixed meal on candidate modulators of cardiovascular disease risk (inflammation, vascular reactivity, sympathetic nervous system tone, and response to pain) in young adult women with migraine compared with healthy young women. This is study enrolling both cases (women with migraine) and controls (women without migraine), with equal numbers of normal weight and obese women in each group. Participants will undergo a telephone screening and a single day in-person study visit.
(Botox) Mechanisms of Action in Altering the Molecular Environment in Which Pain Fibers Exist
MigraineTo compare Botox-treated and Botox-untreated symptomatic tissues (defined as areas where the head hurts and the pain is felt) of chronic migraine (CM) patients using molecular studies.
Human Electrophysiological Model to Quantify the CGRP-related Axon Reflex of Trigeminal Afferents...
MigraineThe proposed project aims at establishing Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-Related Axon Reflex of Trigeminal Afferents as a neurophysiological biomarker for migraine.
MicroRNA Profile and Erenumab Treatment
MigraineErenumab, a monoclonal antibody acting on the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, is an effective and safe migraine-specific preventive drug. The use of migraine-specific preventive drugs paves the way for a novel method to study migraine pathogenesis. Migraine is a complex disorder with several genetic and epigenetic influence, including that of microRNA. Several microRNAs, including those of inflammation and of endothelial function, have high expression levels in subjects with migraine; however, the findings of the available studies are insufficient to provide epigenetic biomarkers for migraine. Besides, little evidence is available on the role of migraine preventive treatments in the expression of microRNA. The study aims at evaluating the expression profiles of microRNAs before and after erenumab treatment prescribed according to clinical indication. The study will include women with episodic or chronic migraine treated with erenumab 140 mg monthly according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and local reimbursement criteria. The study will compare the expression profile of microRNAs in women with episodic and chronic migraine; besides, it will investigate differences in migraine-associated microRNA expression according to age, migraine characteristics, pain intensity, response to erenumab, migraine-related impact and disability.
Cannabis for the Prophylactic Treatment of Migraine
Chronic MigraineThis study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of cannabis for the treatment of chronic migraine headaches. Study subjects will be randomized to one of three groups: lower dose CBD, higher dose CBD or placebo.

Patent Foramen OvaleThe primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the PFx Closure System when utilized for patients with PFOs suffering from cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack, migraine or decompression illness.
Cefalium® Compared to Tylenol® in the Treatment of Migraine Attacks
MigraineNational clinical trials, phase III, randomized, open, parallel, study of superiority, in which three hundred thirty-six (336) participants of both sexes, aged between 18 and 65 years will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. The Group 01 will use Cefalium® and group 02 will use Tylenol®.
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety...
Migraine ProphylaxisThis is a prospective multi-center, randomized, double-blind, two treatment period, placebo-controlled study in subjects with migraine headache requiring prophylactic treatment. The patients will be randomized to receive either AGH-201 sc or placebo (matching vehicle only) sc for 16 weeks. The safety and efficacy outcome measures will be assessed at selected dosing segments during the 16 week treatment phase and 4 weeks (week 20), 8 weeks (week 24) after the last Injection.
TIzanidine for the Preventive Treatment of Episodic MigrainE (TIME)
Migraine Without AuraMigraine With AuraIn this study,189 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tizanidine Hydrochloride in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.
Migraine and Homeostasis:What Can we Learn From Glucose
Migraine HeadachePatients with migraine often report that stressors such as skipping a meal can bring on a migraine whereas some patients report that their migraine improves with food. Few studies to date have looked at the relationship between blood glucose (sugar) and migraine. We are conducting this study to better understand whether or not changes in blood glucose levels can trigger migraine or provide relief during a migraine attack.
