Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

Adult patients suffering from migraine according to the criteria of the International Headache Society were enrolled by general practitioners (≥2 migraine attacks during previous month; exclusion of chronic migraine and medication overuse) and after a one-month baseline phase, supplemented with one tablet of 100 mg feverfew, 100 mg coenzyme Q10 and 112.5 mg magnesium per day for 3 months.

Headaches are a common medical problem that physicians frequently encounter in their practice. One of key findings of The Atlas of Headache Disorders prepared by World Health Organization (WHO) is: headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headache (TTH), are among the most prevalent disorders of mankind. The fixed combination of indomethacin, prochlorperazine and caffeine (IndoProCaf) showed efficacy and safety in acute treatment of migraine and episodic tension-type headache attacks. IndoProCaf (Difmetre®) is widely used in common daily practice only in Italy from early 1970s, is available at the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) pharmaceutical market now. There are limited data regarding IndoProCaf usage from post-marketing settings. This will be a first post-marketing observational study which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and patients' satisfaction of primary headaches acute treatment in routine clinical settings in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

Olfactory impairment is a common symptom of neurologic disorders and may be related to dopaminergic dysfunction. Studies show that patients with migraine show increased sensitivity to light and sound. In our previous study in episodic migraineurs, olfaction was similar to age and sex-matched controls outside of attacks, but lower during acute attacks. The hypothesis is that olfactory function in chronic migraine (CM) will have mild impairment of olfaction at baseline but a more significant impairment during migraine or headache exacerbations. The investigators have two objectives: To determine baseline olfactory acuity in subjects with CM and compare them to age and sex-matched controls To determine how olfaction changes during acute exacerbations of migraine in those with CM To execute this study, the investigators will interview subjects and controls to ensure that they meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. After obtaining informed consent, subjects and controls will complete a questionnaire survey regarding their history or lack of history of headaches, smell sensitivity, osmophobia and current medication use and answer questions about attack frequency, location of headache, duration of disease, use of medication for pain, and disability. Both migraineurs and controls will take the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) in the office. After the first visit, migraineurs and controls will self-administer the UPSIT at home. They will be required to return the second test to the Jefferson Headache Center. The investigators will use analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine variance in UPSIT scores between subjects and controls. To achieve a 90% power that the study will detect a statistically significant difference between the mean UPSIT scores at a two-sided 5 percent significance level, our sample size for both subjects and controls is 50.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of topiramate in preventing migraine among Indian participants requiring prophylaxis (measure taken to maintain health and prevent the spread of disease).

Despite the fact that migraine is a common disorder, the pathogenesis is still not fully elucidated. Studying transcriptomic and biochemical changes during induced and spontaneous migraine-attacks will enhance our understanding and may point to new targets for drug development.

To compare the pharmacokinetics of NP101 with a currently approved oral formulation of Imitrex® (50 mg) in migraine subjects both during an acute migraine attack and during a non-migraine period.

This is a observational, open, prospective, single arm cohort study within authorized SPC conditions to describe the effectiveness of Almotriptan in treating acute migraine attacks when pain is mild and in the first hour of pain in everyday primary care clinical practice.

This study will be the first to provide data about the relationship between PFO and migraine in children. By establishing the actual prevalence, we will better understand if PFO plays a role in the occurence of pediatric migraine and, thus, provide the incentive to perform additional studies evaluating whether PFO closure is an effective treatment option for pediatric migraine. For children with migraine headaches, discovering novel and effective treatments would be life altering.

To assess CGRP levels in saliva through the evolution of migraine.

The purpose of this study is to study MIGRA-ZEN RELIEF PLUS, an all-natural herbal dietary supplement product, with respect to alleviating and/or stopping migraine headache pain compared to a placebo when used prophylactically. This study will involve subjects suffering from chronic migraine headaches.
