Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

To confirm the efficacy of three dose levels of oral eletriptan relative to placebo in relieving symptoms of acute migraine and to further explore the dose response relationship of eletriptan.

112 migraine subjects will be initially randomly assigned to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or a Stress Management for Headache group (SMH). Outcomes, including headache frequency and impact and brain activity, will be assessed at baseline, prior to intervention, and at 3-, 6-, and 12-months.

Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of BIBN 4096 BS in patients with a single acute migraine attack with or without aura

This study will compare a local anesthetic technique that has been used to treat subjects suffering from transformed migraines (chronic migraines) versus medical management with traditional antidepressant Amitriptyline / Elavil. Subjects will be randomized into one of two treatment groups to compare the safety and efficacy of the therapies. Subjects will recieve either sphenopalatine ganglion nerve block with 5% lidocaine gel into the nasopharynx or medical management with traditional antidepressants, Elavil, to produce a reduction in the frequency and severity of the headache. We propose that there will be a difference in the outcomes when comparing the two methods of treating transformed migraines and that one research arm will result in more patient satisfaction and greater efficacy in the treatment of subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of daily dextromethorphan/quinidine (Nuedexta) in reducing the frequency and progression of episodic migraine.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ALD403, a monoclonal antibody, administered by intravenous infusion and subcutaneous injection.

Selecting acupoints along meridians is the predominant principle in acupuncture treatment, and it is also considered to ensure acupuncture efficacy. This experiment is to investigate whether specific brain networks gradually come in formation in accordance with this kind of acupoint selection methods.

This is a pilot trial to collect data on the use of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) in the treatment of an acute migraine attack. Data will be collected on the efficacy of IVIb in subjects who are treated with study medication between 2 and 72 hours from time of onset of headache. Periodic safety and efficacy assessments will be performed prior to and after study drug administration. Null hypothesis: There is no difference in the proportion of subjects in the 2 treatment groups (active treatment and placebo) who have pain relief at 2 hours after the completion of the double-blind treatment infusion. Pain relief is defined as a reduction in headache pain level from severe or moderate decreased to mild or headache-free, respectively.

Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) may be a safe adjunct to medical treatment for pain relief in migraine patients. However, despite the number of CES studies done, many have been open label, single blinded, or have utilized a small group of patients.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rimegepant (BMS-927711) compared with placebo in the acute treatment of migraine as measured by Pain Freedom (headache pain intensity level reported as "no pain") at 2 hours post dose using a four point numeric rating scale (no pain, mild pain, moderate pain, severe pain) while identifying an optimal dose to support the Phase 3 clinical trials.
