Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

In the study of migraine headaches, it is important to consider the affectation presented by those patients whose migraines do not respond easily to treatment. These difficult to treat patients are more likely to develop chronic headache, facilitating the appearance of psychological problems associated with this disease. Holistic care of these patients includes: the disability caused by pain, the impact of pain on their lives, the level of pain catastrophizing, perceived psychological well-being, quality of life and emotional distress. The quality of life of these patients is often severely affected and the psychoemotional symptoms are significantly elevated. The psychological impact associated with these difficult-to-treat chronic migraine patients is a neglected issue in current mental health care. Investigators propose to design a protocol for the evaluation and psychological treatment of these patients, based on cognitive-behavioral theory. After that, the psychological treatment of 10 group sessions will be implemented in a pilot sample. It will have 4 evaluation moments to be able to quantify, by means of questionnaires, the progress of the patients in the different stages of the study. The aim is to achieve an increase in the quality of life and a decrease in the interference of migraines in the patients' lives.

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 prospective, double-blind, multi-center, and randomized study designed to test the effectiveness of migraine alleviation by performing percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale in patients who are also diagnosed with PFO and migraine.

Migraine is a headache that is paroxysmal and can last for hours, sometimes even days due to untreated or ineffective treatment is usually unilateral, throbbing, severe enough to prevent the person's daily life activities, and increases with head movements. It is a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent moderate and severe headaches, mostly associated with a few symptoms in the autonomic nervous system. Migraine consists of recurrent headache attacks accompanied by neurological, gastrointestinal, and autonomic symptoms. Migraine is the most common chronic headache in epidemiological studies. Studies have shown that migraine affects 12% of the general population. The aim of migraine treatment is to reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of migraine attacks, to reduce the losses caused by migraine, and increase the quality of life. In the treatment of migraine, non-pharmacological treatment is as important as pharmacological treatment. Some individuals prefer drug-free treatment methods because of the side effects drugs. In recent years, as the mechanisms of headaches have been better understood, significant developments have been made in treatment methods. Different physiotherapy and rehabilitation methods have been used for treatment. There are studies in which cold application is used in migraine patients, but a study evaluating the effectiveness of cold application has not been found in the literature. The systemic effects of cold have two main purposes: to maintain the current body temperature and to produce energy to raise the fallen body temperature. Knowing both the local and systemic effects of cold guides its use in treatment. The aim of this study was to diagnose migraine. To investigate the effectiveness of cold application applied in addition to relaxation exercises in individuals.

This proposal will involve a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes of a lifestyle behavior protocol in managing chronic migraine. Additionally, the proposal will investigate biomolecules that are uniquely involved in chronic migraine patients who respond to the protocol. Successful completion of this proposal will inform the design of a future full-scale behavioral clinical trial to control chronic migraine.

This study investigates whether unilateral and bilateral non-invasive brain stimulation, given for 20 minutes/once per day for twenty days (M-F) can reduce migraine pain. Fourty patients will receive treatment (20 unilateral treatment, and 20 bilateral treatment), while twenty will receive a "sham" procedure. Another 20 Episodic Migraine patients will be recruited for the observational aim of the study which does not include brain stimulation.

A Phase 4 study to evaluate Qudexy XR for the prevention of migraine in children 6 to 11 years of age.

The researchers propose a three-arm pilot study of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) delivered via telephone (Telephone), video (Video) or online education modules (Online).

The main goal of this trial is to learn whether eptinezumab helps reduce the number of days with episodic migraine in pediatric participants.

Patients with migraine headache will be offered the opportunity to participate in this randomized study evaluating auricular acupuncture versus standard treatment for migraine headaches for patients in the pediatric emergency department (ED).

In a real-world population of adults with migraine, the investigators would like to investigate whether 50 mg diclofenac potassium is non-inferior to 75 mg rimegepant in terms of pain freedom at 2 hours after drug intake.
