NCT03812224
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of erenumab for prevention of migraine in Japanese adults with episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM).
NCT05658185
In the study of migraine headaches, it is important to consider the affectation presented by those patients whose migraines do not respond easily to treatment. These difficult to treat patients are more likely to develop chronic headache, facilitating the appearance of psychological problems associated with this disease. Holistic care of these patients includes: the disability caused by pain, the impact of pain on their lives, the level of pain catastrophizing, perceived psychological well-being, quality of life and emotional distress. The quality of life of these patients is often severely affected and the psychoemotional symptoms are significantly elevated. The psychological impact associated with these difficult-to-treat chronic migraine patients is a neglected issue in current mental health care. Investigators propose to design a protocol for the evaluation and psychological treatment of these patients, based on cognitive-behavioral theory. After that, the psychological treatment of 10 group sessions will be implemented in a pilot sample. It will have 4 evaluation moments to be able to quantify, by means of questionnaires, the progress of the patients in the different stages of the study. The aim is to achieve an increase in the quality of life and a decrease in the interference of migraines in the patients' lives.
NCT05785988
Monoclonal antibodies targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (mAb-CGRP) have shown efficacy and effectiveness in the treatment of episodic and chronic migraine, however, not all patients respond to them. Preliminary data suggests that some patients who failed to one of them, may respond to a different anti-CGRP monoclonal antibody. Observational analytic study with a retrospective cohort design including patients treated with a second mAb-CGRP due to lack of response to the first one. The aim of this study is to provide Class II evidence about the effectiveness and tolerability of the mAb-CGRP switching in patients with migraine, treated in a real-world setting.
NCT06046508
This is a multicenter prospective observational study aimed to asses whether a specific prothrombotic platelet phenotype can discern migraine patients with PFO (patent forame ovale) - related symptoms from patients with incidental PFO. The study will also explore additional distinguishing features of causal and incidental PFO using a metabolomics approach. It involves the enrollment of well-characterized patient cohorts and an ex vivo approach using comparative cell biology models that reproduce the most critical aspects of the clinical scenario.
NCT06247592
In this study, the effect of nerve blockade and radiofrequency treatment applied to the nerve on pain in chronic migraine patients will be investigated. Occipital nerve blockade group (control group): Depending on the location of the pain, blockade will be applied unilaterally or bilaterally with 5 cc of 2% prilocaine for each sıde. Pulse Radiofrequency application to the greater occipital nerve will be applicated after radiofrequency cannula placed near the greater occipital nerve location with 42 degree, for 240 seconds.
NCT04051203
This study is a randomized controlled trial, assessing the effect of a single platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection in post traumatic (concussive) greater occipital neuralgia. This study will compare the effects of a single PRP injection to injection with steroid and anesthetic. There will also be a third arm to the study, in which patients will receive an injection with normal saline. This study will assess the severity and frequency of headache symptoms before and after receiving the injection.
NCT05596058
Migraine may have an adverse effect on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. It causes major consequences for the quality of life of the sufferer and a major burden on the health care system. About the physiopathology, two opposing processes, depression (habituation) and facilitation (sensitization), determine the final behavioural outcome after a sequence of repetitive stimuli. Sensitization is a general behavioural response of augmentation to innocuous sensory and noxious stimuli. It has been associated with a dysfunction in descending pain inhibition. The nature or intensity of a painful event does not strongly relate to the development of chronic pain, but an individual's behavioural response to the event contributes to chronicity. Imaging data have identified that chronic pain may change the structure of the brain in response to environmental demands. It suggests that the brain of healthy control has a "healthy response" to frequent nociceptive input, such as "habituation", while chronic pain patients show a "maladaptive plasticity". Habituation is "a response decrement as a result of repeated stimulation". It is a phenomenon observed in the autonomic and behavioural component called the "orienting response" in humans. The orienting response is elicited when a novel stimulus is encountered, and it directs attention toward that stimulus. When the same stimulus is presented repeatedly occur habituation. Researchers have found a number of physiological mechanisms associated with Orienting response. Habituation of the orienting response is a simple form of learning and acts an attentional filtering mechanism that makes people able to select what is part of their present goal and adapt to environment. In this way only one channel of information to be processed, with the rest filtered out. Habituation depends on a memory process whereby the organism learns to associate goal irrelevant stimuli with a no-consequence response. Lack of Habituation during stimulus repetition is a functional property of the brain in people with migraine between attacks. Thalamo-cortical dysrhythmia and lack of H characterize migraineurs' brains. This abnormal information processing increases during the pain-free days, the vertex is just before the attack, and decreases in the ictal phase. Migraineurs are characterized by a generally increased sensitivity to visual (sensitivity to light), auditory (to sound), or somatic stimuli not only during the attack, but also outside of the attack. It was confirmed also by analysing motor cortex excitability. Aerobic exercises may be effective as pharmacological treatment in the management of migraine and focused attention task may help human subjects to better ignore irrelevant stimuli. The main aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a non-pharmacological treatment, such as physical therapy, with a specific dual task protocol of active exercise with concomitant cognitive tasks, in relation to habituation (Transcranial magnetic stimulation) and sensitization (Algometer assessment) neurophysiological outcomes. The second aim is to assess these non-pharmacological treatments concerning to clinical outcomes (intensity of pain, duration of attacks and frequency of pain; neurophysiological test on executive functions).
NCT04970355
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of erenumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
NCT06155123
Migraine is a leading cause of disability with an estimated prevalence of 12% in Europe. The headache field witnessed a breakthrough since the introduction of specific preventive therapies which proved effective and well tolerated, namely the monoclonal antibodies directed against the Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) pathway (mAbs). Their mechanism of action is still debated. Several Authors claimed that, despite the site of action is peripheral (namely outside of the blood brain barrier), the resulting action may take place at central level. Another valuable hypothesis is that the clinical modifications resulting from mAbs treatment may induce functional modulation of several brain areas. With these premises, the primary aim of the study is to evaluate changes in functional connectivity in patients undergoing preventive mAbs treatment using high density EEG.
NCT06206772
Cluster headache is a highly disabling primary headache disorder, characterized by severe, excruciating, recurrent unilateral headache attacks. Typically, attacks' onset displays a circadian rhythm, and bout recurrence happens in a circannual fashion. Notably, the mechanisms underlying the shift between the remission phase and cluster bout are poorly understood. Thus, the investigators aim to study brain connectivity in episodic cluster headache patients. Additionally, an explorative analysis of functional connectivity in chronic cluster headache patients will be performed.
NCT06106880
Upper respiratory infections (URIs) have long posed a significant burden to the US healthcare system. Well before the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic they have been among the most common acute outpatient illnesses, causing 75-100 million physician visits each year on average, and costing the health care system billions of dollars annually. This double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study tested the efficacy of two anti-inflammatory throat sprays against placebo and against a throat spray taken in conjunction with 325mg of aspirin, a well-known systemically administered cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. Participants having common cold symptoms lasting less than two days were enrolled and given treatment to administer at home. Various common cold symptoms were assessed and measured via clinically validated self-assessment scales. Participants were screened for influenza and COVID-19 before enrollment and were excluded if found positive.
NCT06203678
Migraine is a common episodic headache disorder accompanied by neurological, gastrointestinal and autonomic changes.Migraine symptoms have a wide range, neck pain is seen in most migraine attacks, and accompanying neck pain is considered one of the important factors that increase migraine-related disability. It has been shown that various physical therapy methods applied to migraine patients with cervical myofascial pain reduce migraine pain and analgesic needs. One of the methods used in myofascial pain syndrome is kinesio taping and the effectiveness of cervical area applications has been shown in different studies.In this study, it was planned to examine the effect of kinesio taping applied to cervical trigger points on migraine symptoms in migraine patients.
NCT05093556
This mixed-methods pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of iCHART (Interactive CBT for Headache And Relaxation Training), an interactive voice response (IVR) based delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy for Veterans with post-traumatic headache. Participants will receive iCHART treatment through the IVR system over a period of 10 weeks, which will include an automated daily assessment of patient-reported outcomes, retrieval of fortnightly tailored feedback from a study therapist, and additional weekly one-way motivational enhancement messaging. Delivery of traditional evidence-based behavioral treatments for headache management through technology-based interventions, such as IVR may ultimately increase much needed access to these treatments and allow patients to receive care at a time that is convenient for them.
NCT05466682
The goal of this research is to assess the utility of smartphone-based progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) for the treatment of migraine and sleep. While there are many commercially available electronic diary and mind-body intervention apps for headache, there is little data showing their efficacy. RELAXaHEAD app incorporates the electronic PMR that was successfully used in an earlier epilepsy study and beta tested with headache specialist and migraine patient input. It also is an electric headache diary. The app has been studied and findings have been reported in multiple peer reviewed publications. Also, the app has been updated based on prior feedback from the studies. Now, this 2-arm randomized controlled study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of RELAXaHEAD for use with patients with migraine and comorbid insomnia. . One arm will be the RELAX group (the RELAXaHEAD app) and the other arm will be a monitored usual care (MUC) group (this group receives standard of care and uses the electronic daily symptom reporting diary). The goals are to assess the feasibility and adherence of the RELAX intervention in persons with migraine and insomnia (Aim 1) and to gather exploratory data on the effects of the RELAX intervention on headache and sleep related outcome measures (Aim 2).
NCT03773562
Researchers are trying to determine if there is a difference between brain images of subjects that do respond to treatment with erenumab and subjects who do not respond to treatment with erenumab using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
NCT06197542
Rationale of this research is to evaluate the outcome of active release technique and Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on trigger points in subjects with Migraine. The significance of this study is to identify which technique is superior in alleviating the symptoms of migraine. This study will help gather evidence on the practice of incorporating trigger point therapy in the treatment of Migraine.
NCT03337620
This is a double blind placebo-controlled study which will evaluate the efficacy of bupivacaine compared to saline, delivered by the Tx360® device to the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG), to treat chronic migraine headache. The Tx360® is a nasal applicator which is cleared through the FDA for transnasal medication delivery, including delivery to the SPG. The SPG has been implicated in a variety of cephalalgias. It is critical to the success of this intervention that the blocking agent be accurately delivered to this area as it is the only non-bony access to the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF). Subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive 12 intranasal treatments to the SPG over a period of 4 weeks with follow-up monthly for an additional 3 months post-treatment.
