Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The study aims to compare the effects of connective tissue massage on pain severity, attack frequency and duration, migraine-related disability, and quality of life in patients diagnosed with migraine, by comparing them with the classical massage.

Single center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluating analog pain scores in patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with a complaint of headache. A total of 150 patients age 13-55 presenting to the emergency department with headache will be enrolled from October 2015 - October 2016. Patients will be randomized and pain scores and side effects will be recorded at 0, 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Follow-up will be performed by telephone at 24 hours.

Pilot study to compare the efficacy and safety of two strengths of injections of subcutaneous DFN-11 in subjects with rapidly escalating migraine headaches.

The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the Cefaly® device as an acute treatment of migraine attack in adult patients. The patients will be applied either an active or placebo external neurostimulation for 1 hour during a migraine attack, and will report the pain on a visual analog scale before and after the treatment.

The main objective of the study was to evaluate ginger efficacy as an adjuvant to ketoprofen for the treatment of headache and other symptoms related with migraine attacks.

Headaches in children are very common and are a source of significant distress for the patient and their family. Migraines are the most common headache disorder in children and are associated with episodic pain and other symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound that can impair a child's ability to participate in daily activities and lead to missed school or parental missed work. When home treatment fails to relieve symptoms, children often seek care in the emergency department (ED) where a limited number of treatment options exist; while largely effective, these rescue treatments currently all require needle insertion of an intravenous line, take time to administer, result in prolonged ED stays, and have potential unpleasant side effects. In adult patients, a number of studies suggest that lidocaine, a local anesthetic administered intranasally, may provide relief of migraine and migraine-like headache pain in minutes. This approach has the benefit of working quickly, not requiring a needle, and having fewer side effects as the medication acts locally on nerves in the nose. Intranasal lidocaine has not yet been studied in children for this purpose. This study will compare the use of intranasal lidocaine to placebo. The goal of this pilot study is to provide information to inform the sample size calculation for the definitive randomized controlled trial that will aim to measure the efficacy of intranasal lidocaine as an analgesic option for children age 7 years and older who present to the Pediatric ED with a chief complaint of migraine or post traumatic headache with migraine-like features. Secondary objectives will be to report on the frequency and severity of rebound headache between the two treatment groups, adverse events of the study drug, as well as the impact on healthcare utilization measures.The investigators hypothesize that children receiving intranasal lidocaine will have faster and more effective pain recovery compared to children receiving placebo and will be less likely to require the standard therapy for migraine headache. Given very few side effects reported in adult studies and the relatively benign nature of those reported, the investigators do not expect any major safety concerns in the study. It is also hypothesized that intranasal lidocaine will lead to shorter ED visits, thus reducing use of staff and hospital resources and saving money for the healthcare system as a whole.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether TDCS is an effective prophylactic therapy of chronic migraine.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of AMG 333 for 14 days in healthy subjects and migraine subjects. As part of the secondary objectives, the study will characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of AMG 333 after multiple oral doses in healthy subjects and migraine subjects, as well as characterize the effect of multiple doses of AMG 333 on increases in blood pressure (BP) induced by the cold pressor test (CPT) in healthy subjects.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the longer term safety of the study drug known as galcanezumab in participants with episodic or chronic migraine.

Evaluate the effectiveness of air insufflation in aborting (stopping) an acute episode of migraine and compare it with a placebo effect of using the same procedure but without active insufflation. The insufflation will be used when the subject is experiencing an acute episode of migraine to determine its ability to reduce, if not to completely eliminate the migraine symptoms. Subjects receiving the placebo treatment will be offered the active treatment during the subsequent episode of migraine.
