Use of the Avulux® Lenses as an Aid in Reducing the Impact of Migraine Headaches

Avulux® is intended to reduce the severity of headache pain in adult patients diagnosed with episodic migraine headaches. In this study, the investigative Avulux® device shall consist of a pair of optical filters in the form of spectacle lenses, provided in a standard spectacle frame; the lenses contain a dye that effectively blocks light at specified wavelength ranges while minimizing distortion of the visible spectrum. The optical filters block a portion of the optical spectrum that is suspected to stimulate photophobic responses that trigger some, and exacerbate most, migraines. The control/sham device for this study shall be a pair of plastic lenses provided in a standard spectacle frame, which will have negligible light-blocking properties at the optical wavelengths which are blocked by the Avulux® device.
