Selective Activation of the Adrenomedullin Receptors in Migraine

Adrenomedullin is a neuropeptide implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine. This study investigates whether its administration, after pre-treatment with erenumab (a CGRP-receptor blocking monoclonal antibody), can trigger migraine attacks in individuals with migraine without aura.

Hypersensitivity to Amylin in Post-Traumatic Headache

Pramlintide is a peptide analogue of human amylin which is a vasoactive substance involved in the pathogenesis of headache. This study investigates whether pramlintide induces migraine-like headache in people with persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Safety and Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin A in Patients With Posttraumatic Headache

The study is an investigator-initiated randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallelgroup trial. Eighty subjects with PTH will be included and randomized 1:1 for treatment with BTX-A or placebo (isotonic saline). The study comprises a 4-week baseline phase before injection of either active drug or placebo followed by a 12-week evaluation period. Treatment will be double-blind, and subjects will only receive one treatment cycle. Endpoints will be assessed in the evaluation period (weeks 5 to 8) compared to baseline (weeks -4 to -1).

Investigation of Functional Brain Features in Women with Migraine

This study aims to investigate whether the functional alterations in the brain of individuals with migraine appear before the peripheral vascular changes. This will be investigated using functional and structural neuroimaging in individuals with spontaneous menstually-related migraine.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of unknown etiology, primarily affecting overweight females of childbearing age. Typically, patients experience headache and visual symptoms due to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and papilledema. The diagnosis is difficult, and outcomes vary from no sequelae to blindness or chronic headaches. No clear prognostic indicators exist. Treatment consists of medication, weight loss, and possibly surgical intervention.There is an unmet need of defining biomarkers with prognostic or diagnostic value and defining predictors of a poor outcome. This project is a prospective, population-based cohort study including clinical data and a biobank (blood samples and cerebrospinal fluid). The investigator's primary aim is to identify biomarkers of diagnostic or prognostic value and to create a clinical IIH database. The clinical database will answer questions about patient characteristics at baseline and during follow-up, identify predictors of outcome, and help create a standardized programme for follow-up and
