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.

To evaluate the efficacy of early intervention (dosing within 2 hours of onset of the migraine attack) with eletriptan 40mg on mild versus moderate to severe pain intensity of migraine.

Tools to predict which patients could better respond to abortive CGRP target therapy are still lacking. We propose to investigate if biochemical (salivary CGRP) and neurophysiological (evoked potentials) biomarkers can recognize patients with the best chances of responding to Rimegepant 75 mg as an acute treatment of migraine.

In the literature, research into the examination of the effect of MLD on migraine is quite limited. Our study aimed to examine the effectiveness of manual lymph drainage and connective tissue massage treatments on neck pain and disability, sleep quality, pain threshold and severity, depression and quality of life.

Migraine is one of the three most disabling diseases worldwide. Constituted by recurrent episodes of headache, characterized by unilateral location, throbbing character, moderate or severe intensity, worsening with physical activity, and association with nausea or photophobia and/or phonophobia. There are two types of drug treatment: abortifacient and prophylactic. The American Academy of Neurology classifies sodium valproate as level A; however, some patients do not obtain a satisfactory response rate and/or have adverse effects. Therefore, the search for new pharmacological treatments continues. In 2015, a double-blind, randomized clinical trial with a placebo was carried out to assess Memantine's efficacy in the prophylactic treatment of migraine without aura, which reported a reduction of 2.3 migraine attacks per month compared to the placebo group. Memantine could be a new effective treatment alternative, which is why we will compare the efficacy of Memantine against sodium valproate as a prophylactic migraine treatment. Main objective: To compare the efficacy of Memantine at a rate of 20mg divided into two doses a day against sodium valproate (VPA) at a rate of 1000mg divided into two doses a day prophylactic treatment of migraine for three months. Study design: a prospective controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Inclusion criteria: Men and women aged 18 to 65 years with a diagnosis at least one year before the study must present at least 2 to 8 migraine attacks per month and less than 15 days with headache per month, which should not be receiving prophylactic treatment for migraine and sign an informed consent Sample size calculation and statistical analysis: It is calculated using the normal distribution model, where the recommended sample size is 196 participants. Since a pilot study will be conducted, 10% of the sample size will be taken to make it representative, a sample size of 20 participants is decided for each group.

Introduction:Migraine is a prevalent disabling primary headache disorder which is classified in two major types; migraine without aura and migraine with aura. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of mesotherapy with systemic therapy in pain controlin patients with headache related tomigraine without aura. Methods: We conducted this prospective parallel randomized controlled trial with the patients admitted to the emergency department with headache related to migraine without aura. One group was treated with mesotherapy, and the control group with intravenous dexketoprofen. Changes in pain intensity at 30th minute, 60th minute, 120th minute and 24th hours after treatment using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), need to use analgesic drug within 24 hours,re-admission with same complaint to emergency department (ED) within 72 hours, and adverse effect rate of the methods were compared between groups.

Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Oral Ubrogepant in the Acute Treatment of Migraine When Administered During the Prodrome

In this study, the investigators planned to compare the effectiveness of an intravenous ibuprofen against an intravenous dexketoprofen among patients (18-65 years) who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) with acute migraine-related headaches and diagnosed migraine without aura. In this study, patients who presented with migraine-related headache to emergency departments will be included in this study. Two different therapy option are created; first, 400mg intravenous ibuprofen with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide Hcl , second, 50 mg intravenous dexketoprofen with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide Hcl. Patients's headache scores will be measured with visual analog score (VAS) at the pretreatment and post-treatment periods (0. minutes, 30. minutes, and 60. minutes.) 60 minutes after treatment, as a rescue therapy, 100mg tramadol will be given to patients whose headache score does not decrease by more than 50% from pretreatment-VAS score.

Chronic pain, of which migraine is among the most common, affects 100 million US adults and costs between $560 to $635 billion dollars annually. There is a need for effective, low-cost non-pharmacological strategies to reduce migraine load in migraineurs (based on International Headache Society classification International Classification of Headache Disorders [ICHD]-3; experience headache [migraine-like or tension-type-like] on 15+ days/month for 3+ months, and have migraine headaches [either with aura or without aura] on 8+ days/month). This represents an area of interest, as common migraine medications induce central nervous system side-effects including aphasia, ataxia, somnolescence, and vertigo; and 79% of suffers have an interest in trying novel treatment strategies with lower adverse effects than medications. Exercise has been shown to be a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce migraine burden. However, how environmental (i.e. - time-of-day, exposure to nature) and genetic factors (i.e. - polymorphisms in circadian and migraine associated genes) impact the laudatory effects of exercise remains unknown. There are independently established heritable components to migraine frequency (65%), circadian rhythm (70%), and aerobic power during exercise (66%). Thus, the central hypothesis is that an optimal environment can improve the exercise-induced reduction in migraine load, which is influenced by genetic heritability of migraine related gene polymorphisms.
