NCT06277063
This study is a single-center, single-arm study. All subjects will receive the same treatment. Children and adolescents (7-20 years old) with migraine who met the inclusion criteria will be enrolled as subjects in the experimental group, and the changes in headache scores before and after the intervention will be compared. The intervention method is as follows: ictal intervention, in which subjects will be evaluated for headache improvement after a short intervention during an acute exacerbation. By wearing a vagus stimulator, the stimulating electrode will be located in the concha region rich in vagus nerve fiber endings, and the appropriate stimulation intensity will be adjusted for stimulation. Therefore, this study will verify the effect of nVNS on the acute treatment of primary headache in children and adolescents. Based on the electrocardiogram and electromyography indicators during the intervention process of nVNS, an objective evaluation system for the improvement of headache by nVNS is established, and the role of stimulation parameters on the effect is further explored to realize the optimization of parameters.

The study aims to assess the relation between migraine and H pylori infection in children and adolescent.
NCT06182098
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare intravenous (IV) fluids in pediatric patients with migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a large amount of fluids (bolus) improve pain * Does a large amount of fluids (bolus) reduce admissions to the hospital for migraine Participants will be asked to report their pain and have vital signs checked every 30 minutes for two hours. Researchers will compare a large amount of fluids (bolus) to a small amount (half maintenance) to see if there is a difference in pain improvement.

Background: Migraine is a common neurological disorder that also has a significant prevalence in children. Although the exact etiology of migraine is unknown, recent studies suggest an association between intestinal flora and migraine, and tryptophan metabolism is an important link between intestinal flora and the nervous system. However, the role of tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine is not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the specific role of tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine. Study objectives: The main objectives of this study were to assess the changes in tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine and to explore their relationship with migraine attacks. Specific objectives include: 1. to determine the differences in tryptophan metabolites between children with migraine and healthy children; 2. to explore the correlation between tryptophan metabolites and migraine attacks 3. to assess the potential mechanisms of the role of tryptophan metabolites in childhood migraine. Study methods: 1. participant recruitment: a certain number of pediatric migraine patients and healthy children were recruited as controls. 2. data collection: clinical information, medical history, and blood samples were collected from participants. 3. Tryptophan metabolite analysis: using appropriate experimental techniques, ELISA Statistical analysis: The main analyses included the following: 1. comparison of differences in tryptophan metabolites between migraine and control groups, using t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. 2. To assess the value of tryptophan metabolites in the diagnosis of migraine, ROC curve analysis was used to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC. 3. To explore the factors associated with tryptophan metabolites and migraine, multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk and protective effects of each factor on migraine. Experimental hypothesis: Our experimental hypothesis was that tryptophan metabolites may play a key role in the pathogenesis of childhood migraine, particularly kynurenine (KYN), quinolinic acid (QUINA), and kynurenic acid (KYNA). We hypothesized that in pediatric migraine patients, the concentrations of tryptophan metabolites would change significantly compared to healthy children. We further hypothesized that the concentrations of certain tryptophan metabolites correlate with the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Based on these hypotheses, our study will examine tryptophan metabolite concentrations in blood samples and perform a comparative analysis between pediatric migraineurs and healthy children. We will also explore the correlation between tryptophan metabolites and migraine attacks and determine their risk and protective role in childhood migraine through multiple logistic regression analysis. Outlook: The results of this study are expected to reveal the important role of tryptophan metabolites in the pathogenesis of migraine in children and provide a new basis for the diagnosis and treatment of migraine in children. In addition, the study may also provide theoretical support for the development of relevant therapeutic strategies and interventions, and provide new ideas for the prevention and management of migraine in children.

This is a randomized double blind trial comparing an intranasal sphenopalatine block with 2% lidocaine to intravenous (0.15 mg/kg, max 10mg) prochlorperazine in patients greater than 10 years of age presenting to a pediatric emergency department with an acute frontal migraine headache.
NCT03806595
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.
NCT04466826
Single-center, open-label, pre-post treatment pilot study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sphenopalatine ganglia blocks for the treatment of chronic migraine in the pediatric population. 50 children with a diagnosis of chronic migraines will undergo a series of three transnasal sphenopalatine ganglia blocks to measure their effect on headache frequency, headache intensity, headache duration, and use of headache medication.
