Active clinical trials for "Migraine Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topiramate in participants with migraine (type of severe headache that occurs periodically and is often associated with nausea, vomiting and constipation or diarrhea) who completed the JNS019-JPN-02 study.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the effects of ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen for the acute treatment of primary migraine in children in or out prophylactic treatment with magnesium. Methods: The study had been approved by the Researchers Ethics Committee of the "Pugliese-Ciaccio" Hospital (protocol number 720/2010; EUDRACT NUMBER 2012-005737-36) and the children ranging from the ages of 5 to 18 years with at least four attack/month of primary migraine were enrolled. A Visual Analogical Scale was used to evaluate pain intensity at the moment of admission to the study (start of the study) and every month up to 18 months later (end of the study).

The purpose of this study is to determine if some women with dysmenorrhea (painful periods) are at higher future risk of developing chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and if oral contraceptives (OC) can be used to reverse this chronic pain risk. Investigators will examine whether dysmenorrhea produces CPP via repetitive cross organ sensitization (COS) episodes. The use of cyclical OCs to eliminate dysmenorrhea is expected to reduce COS and decrease the risk of developing CPP.

The purpose of this study is to determine a recommended dose of topiramate in participants with migraine (type of severe headache that occurs periodically and is often associated with nausea, vomiting, and constipation or diarrhea), to verify the superiority (statistically more effective) of the drug to placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial), and to assess if a same therapeutic effect can be observed between this study and overseas Caucasian clinical studies.

This protocol matches child subjects with peer mentors of similar age who have learned to function successfully with a chronic pain disorder. The trained mentors will present information to the subjects in a supervised and monitored interaction via telephone and computer for 2 months and encourage participation in skill-building programs. Children will be tested for improvement in pain and functioning at 2 months and again at 4 months to see if improvements persist. The investigators hypothesize that children who received peer mentor support will show more improvement in pain and functioning at 2 and 4 months into treatment than those in a control group who do not receive mentor support.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ethosuximide works better than placebo in the prevention of episodic migraine among veterans.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the adequacy (reasonably good) of topiramate therapy (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) in prevention of migraine (type of severe headache that occurs periodically and is often associated with nausea, vomiting, and constipation or diarrhea) by comparing standard titration (slow increase in drug dosage, guided by patient's responses) therapy to slow titration therapy and slow titration therapy boosted by the concurrent use of propranolol in participants with migraine with or without aura (having to do with the ear) for more than or equal to 2 attacks per month.

Many clinical trials may not fully explore criteria that are important to some migraine patients' definition of "complete response." This study offers the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of Treximet™ when non-standard criteria are examined (for example, neck pain, irritability or fatigue). Subjects enrolled at 8 investigative sites will complete 2 visits. Subjects will complete a Completeness of Response Survey at Visit 1 considering their usual migraine medication (a triptan) and a Completeness of Response Survey at Visit 2 considering their study medication (Treximet™).

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of BGG492 used to treat migraine pain.
