Migraine Without Aura

The study of the ability to predict pain in a migraine attack, through premonitory symptoms and through an ambulatory monitoring device through real-time recording of hemodynamic variables, is one of the strategic lines of research of the unit. of Headaches at the Hospital de La Princesa since 2013 together with the Complutense and Polytechnic University of Madrid. Their results have been reflected in various publications (Pagán J, et al. Sensors 2015; Gago-Veiga AB, et al. J Pain Res 2018) and have promoted the creation of several invention patents.

Prospective, single-site, open-label, non-controlled pilot study consisting of two parallel trials. Participants will receive rimegepant or zavegepant for acute migraine treatment during a single Emergency Department visit, with post-discharge follow-up through 28 days. Participants will be allocated to either the rimegepant trial or the zavegepant trial. The study design does not include a placebo or active comparator control group, and the two gepant study drugs are not designed to function as active comparator groups. The objective in this investigation is to examine relief from either rimegepant or zavegepant in separate parallel trials.

This study uses a factorial research design to evaluate a nurse delivered mind body intervention using different doses of 3 treatment components to determine the optimized treatment for headache day reduction.

This study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of the Enso for Migraine program, a comprehensive digital care program combining an FDA-cleared neuromodulation wearable device (Enso), personalized exercise therapy, and a dedicated care team, in reducing migraine frequency among adults with episodic or chronic migraine.

The purpose of this prospective and multicentric study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of rimegepant as preventive migraine treatment in a cohort of episodic or chronic migraine patients.

The aim of this clinical trial is to learn if people with migraine can learn a type of biobehavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) by using a virtual reality headset. Researchers are studying if this type of mindfulness therapy helps to decrease migraine-related disability. Participants will be randomized to treatment as usual or active virtual reality groups for four weeks. Everyone will keep symptom diaries, complete surveys, attend two clinic visits, and have two blood draws.

The study aims to test interactions between drug and placebo-responses in acute migraine treatment and to assess variation in adverse events according to treatment information provided. Using a clinical within-subjects, advanced balanced placebo design, patients with episodic migraine will receive six treatment conditions in a randomized order.

This comparative effectiveness study will clarify current first-line preventive treatment approaches for use by neurologists, psychologists, and primary care providers in the context of real world care, and will demonstrate the feasibility of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) via telehealth for youth with migraine. The focus is on applying evidence-based care and enhancing access to it. CBT via telehealth while taking a clinically-prescribed, pill-based prevention therapy (amitriptyline) will be compared to CBT via telehealth alone.

Health enSuite is a suite of applications designed by our research team at the Centre of Research in Family Health at IWK Health. These applications evaluate virtual solutions for clinical problems and assist family doctors with their adult patients. Health enSuite will be utilized by Canadian family physicians targeting insomnia, anxiety, migraine headache, and caregiver distress. Health enSuite Migraine has been designed to make cognitive and behavioral techniques for managing migraine headache readily available to primary care patients. The online program combines treatment elements that are effective in preventing and managing migraine headache pain, including trigger management, stress management, relaxation techniques, cognitive reappraisal, and psychoeducation.

The purpose of this prospective and multicentric study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of rimegepant as acute migraine treatment in a cohort of episodic or chronic migraine patients.

Migraine without aura is a highly prevalent and disabling primary headache that significantly affects quality of life. Many patients experience insufficient symptom control with pharmacological treatments or develop adverse effects, which has increased interest in safe, non-invasive therapeutic alternatives. Physiotherapy, and particularly manual therapy, has shown potential benefits in reducing pain and improving function in headache disorders. This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of adding specific myotensive techniques directed at the extraocular muscles to a craniocervical manual therapy program in adults with migraine without aura. The hypothesis is that targeting the oculomotor system may influence pain modulation and improve symptoms related to visual, cervical, and sensorimotor interactions. Ninety participants aged 18 to 65 years with a medical diagnosis of migraine without aura according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third Edition (ICHD-III), will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. Both groups will receive six physiotherapy sessions over approximately eight weeks. The experimental group will receive manual therapy on the craniocervical region and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) combined with myotensive techniques for the extraocular muscles, while the control group will receive only the standard manual therapy protocol. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline and post-intervention using validated instruments such as the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS), Craniofacial Pain and Disability Inventory (CF-PDI), Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain. Cervical mobility and oculomotor function will also be assessed through standardized clinical tests. All procedures will be carried out at the Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry of the University of Seville. Data will be collected and managed in digital format in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spanish data protection law. Study results are expected to clarify the role of the oculomotor system in migraine without aura and to determine whether incorporating extraocular myotensive techniques enhances the effects of manual therapy within a comprehensive physiotherapeutic approach.

This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy and quality-of-life improvement between FSN and flunarizine hydrochloride in patients with migraine without aura. The core research questions addressed were: Q1: Whether FSN demonstrates superior or at least equivalent therapeutic effects compared to the active control drug (flunarizine hydrochloride) in pain relief and quality-of-life enhancement for migraine without aura patients; Q2: To elucidate the mechanism of FSN in treating migraine without aura from a cerebral hemodynamic perspective. Participants will:1. Group allocation: A randomized design was employed, with 30 participants enrolled per group. 2. Interventions: Experimental group: Subjected to FSN monotherapy; Control group: Treated with oral flunarizine hydrochloride. 3. Treatment duration: All participants received a 4-week therapeutic intervention. 4. Outcome measures: The following parameters were systematically evaluated during treatment and follow-up: Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores 、Migraine-Specific Quality of Life (MSQOL) scores、Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) examinations.Researchers will compare FSN to flunarizine hydrochloride(a clinically established medication) to see if FSN exhibits superior or non-inferior efficacy to treat migraine without aura.

Patients will be asked to visit the study center 2 times, the first time for clinical assessment and a second time for sample collection. Healthy controls will only be asked to visit the study center for sample collection. A sample of blood and saliva will be collected in order to measure CGRP levels and DNA and hormone testing.

In this study,189 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tizanidine Hydrochloride in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.
