Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

Abstract Background: There is no universally accepted and effective prophylaxis of migraine headache episodes. Thus the investigators aimed to investigate the effects of Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Brown, an herb with many effects on central nervous system, on pain frequency and intensity of migraine patients. Methods: Patients were enrolled in a prospective, phase 2, non-controlled cohort study to orally receive ethanolic extract of L. alba leaves (1-2 drips/kg/day). Headache intensity and frequency of episodes were recorded before and after 30-60 days of treatment. The investigators also studied the chemical composition of its essential oil by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The investigators described for the first time a particular L. alba chemotype with geranial and carvenone as major compounds. With treatment, both frequency and intensity of pain episodes significantly decreased from baseline to first reassessment date. More than 80% of patients experienced a minimum 50% reduction on pain intensity and frequency. No side effects were reported. Conclusions: Treatment with a geranial plus carvenone chemotype of L. alba ethanolic extract is a cheap, widely available, highly effective therapy to reduce both the intensity and the frequency of headache episodes of migraine patients with no side effects.

This randomized study is testing 3 different intravenous medications to see which one is best for acute migraine. The three medications are metoclopramide, valproate, and ketorolac.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a range of oral doses of COL-144 in treating migraine headache, in order to select a dose or doses for further evaluation.

To provide long term safety data for rizatriptan in children and adolescents. The primary hypothesis of the study is that rizatriptan is well tolerated in the long term treatment of acute migraine in pediatric patients age 12-17 years.

This Clinical Trial evaluates the Safety and Efficacy of Rizatriptan for the Acute Treatment of Migraine in Children and Adolescents.

A study to compare rizatriptan 10 mg verse sumatriptan 100 mg in the treatment of migraine attacks and duration of relief provided. This study will also provide additional efficacy data on rizatriptan 5 mg and 10 mg for the treatment of migraine.

Females 18 years of age or older with at least one year history of menstrual migraine (MM) headaches participated in a Phase 4 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of frovatriptan when used at the early stage (International Headache Society [IHS] Grade 1) of MM compared with patients' current treatment.

to demonstrate the superiority of Trexima (combination of sumatriptan as the succinate 85 mg and naproxen sodium 500 mg) versus placebo in the acute treatment of migraine to demonstrate the superiority of Trexima versus the individual components (sumatriptan as the succinate 85 mg and naproxen sodium 500 mg), and to evaluate the safety of the Trexima.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of rizatriptan, alone or combined with caffeine for treating acute attacks of migraine. Each subject will have 3 months to treat 3 acute migraine headache attacks. Each subject will be dispensed one box containing 3 packets of study medication labeled for Headache #1, Headache #2, or Headache #3. Each packet wil contain either Maxalt 10mg MLT or a Maxalt placebo (sugar pill), and a capsule containing either caffeine 75mg or a capsule containing placebo (sugar). One headache will be treated with a combination of Maxalt 10mg MLT and caffeine. Another headache will be treated with a combination of Maxalt 10mg MLT and a capsule containing placebo. A third headache will be treated with just placebo. Neither the subject, the study coordinator, or your study doctor will know in which order you will receive the three different treatments. This information is available in case of emergency.

This study will test the safety and how effective telcagepant is when taken with ibuprofen or acetaminophen in participants with migraine with or without aura. The primary study hypothesis is that at least one drug combination is superior to telecagepant alone in the treatment of acute migraines.
