Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

This study consists of a 4-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period for all participants, followed by a 28-week treatment period extension (to 52 weeks in total) for a subset of at least 60 and up to 80 participants, and a 2-week post-treatment follow-up period.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as new preventive treatment of migraine.

There is no doubt that chronic migraine is a large public health problem, which is both disabling and costly. Many patients and headache doctors see Botulinum toxin (Botox) treatment as a big stride forward, but it is a problem that the effect has been shown in only one study, with a low therapeutic gain. For this reason, before this costly treatment is expanded to potentially several thousand patients in Norway, it would be highly desirable that 1) there is additional good scientific evidence for use of Botox , 2) a more effective treatment procedure is developed, 3) the potential for unblinding is reduced, and 4) the dose, number of injection sites and cost can be halved, and 5) the adverse effects are minimized. These may be the results of this pilot project where injections are given along the sutures, which can open up for a later randomized, blinded and controlled study.

This study tests the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a seven-session cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention to treat sleep and pain problems in youth ages 11-17 with co-morbid headache and insomnia.

This study will be a randomised placebo controlled trial examining the effectiveness of using an intranasal evaporative cooling device (the RhinoChill intransal device) in providing relief of pain and symptoms of acute migraine.The treatment works by introducing cooling into the passageways of the nose through two small cannulas thereby cooling the local nasal tissue and the blood vessels which supply blood to the brain. This cooling effect will cause the blood vessels to constrict as well as stimulating special cold receptors that are thought to be involved in the relief of migraine, thereby providing both pain and associated symptomatic relief. In total, 90 patients randomised in a 1:1 fashio n will be recruited from three different NHS Trusts. The patients will have a 30-day period of data collection for their current migraine frequency, treatment and response to medication (with a minimum of 2 migraine attacks recorded) before starting the treatment phase with the RhinoChill Device. Treatment will be for 3 migraine attacks. Only a single treatment is allowed for the first attack, but on the second attack the patient may deliver 2 treatments with a gap of at least 2 hours between treatments, if indicated.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug Galcanezumab in Japanese participants with episodic migraine.

Migraine is a common, chronic neurovascular disorder characterized by attacks of severe headache, autonomic nervous system dysfunction and, in some patients, aura, and disabling neurological symptoms. Worldwide, migraine prevalence is as high as 18% in the general population. Increased frequency of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in migraineurs was first reported in 1998 in a case-control study. Since then, others have described a 60% prevalence of PFO in patients suffering from migraine with aura. The presence of a right-to-left shunt (RLS) is thought to be a potent trigger of migraine attacks, although the mechanism is unknown. Moreover, PFO closure has correlated with improved migraine symptoms in several retrospective uncontrolled studies. The aim of this single-center, prospective study is to assess the impact of PFO closure on migraine attacks over time together with evaluation of potential predictive risk factors.

Migraine is a frequent pathology, highly linked to anxio-depressive factors. Non-drug approaches are part of the therapeutic arsenal. Music therapy is a recent discipline expanding in hospital services and specialised ambulatory centers. The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of " U " technique in receptive music therapy on migraine frequency, on patients suffering from episodic migraines, through " Music care " software home use. Secondary objectives are to assess this technique impact on migraine intensity, duration, emotional effect (HAD score), functional impact (HIT-6 score), and acute treatment administration. This is a monocentric prospective before-after study carried out in chronic pain department of the CHU Sud Reunion.

This study will evaluate the clinical performance and safety of a self administered abortive treatment for migraine headache using combined occipital and supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulator (Neurolief device, Relievion™).
