Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of almotriptan malate (AXERT®) 12.5 milligram tablets compared with placebo for the acute treatment of migraine headache at the earliest onset of headache pain. Almotriptan malate (AXERT®) is approved for the treatment of migraine headache, with or without aura, in adults. Patients in this study will take either almotriptan or placebo oral tablets for 3 consecutive migraine headaches.

The purpose of this study is to determine if long-term treatment, up to 1 year, with Depakote ER is safe in the reduction of occurrence of migraine headaches in adolescents.

In this open-label, multi-center study, patients were treated with frovatriptan for a maximum of 12 perimenstrual periods (PMPs). For each PMP, dosing commenced 2 days before the anticipated onset of the menstrual migraine (MM) headache and continued for a total of 6 days. Patients were to take a loading dose of frovatriptan 5 mg (two tablets) twice daily on Day 1, followed by frovatriptan 2.5 mg twice daily on Days 2-6. During the study, patients were to visit the study site a total of 6 times. Efficacy and/or safety assessments were performed at each visit.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether relaxation (autogenic training of Schultz) is effective in treatment for migraine.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telcagepant in the treatment of acute migraine in participants with stable vascular disease. Acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP) will be used as an active comparator in this study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that telcagepant 300 mg is superior to placebo.

This is a multicentre, open label, prospective, randomized, two-attack study with active comparator in patients reporting inadequate response to analgesics and/or triptans to examine the efficacy of Rizatriptan 10 mg RPD in this group of patients.

The purpose of this study is to test the effect on blood pressure of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium combination tablets, tablets containing only sumatriptan, and tablets containing only naproxen sodium when these drugs are taken to treat migraine headaches that occur during a 6-month period.

The primary purpose of this open-label study is to determine if concomitant therapy with topiramate and flunarizine has any effect on the pharmacokinetics of either drug. Safety will be assessed for all subjects, for the entire duration of the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an implantable device for difficult to treat migraine. There are a significant number of patients who have drug refractory migraine and alternative therapies are needed.

Nitric oxide (NO) is likely to be involved in the development of migraine headache. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is an important chemical involved in the production of NO. Reduction of NOS, and therefore NO, may be an effective technique for the treatment of migraine headache. GW274150 is a highly selective inhibitor of NOS and offers the potential of anti-inflammatory activity in migraine through a novel mechanism of action. The intent of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of GW274150 for the acute treatment of migraine headache.
