NCT06241313
A migraine attack is a moderate or severe headache that usually occurs on one side of the head and is often accompanied by throbbing, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound, nausea, or other symptoms. The main goal of the study is to see if atogepant is effective, safe, and well-tolerated in treating migraine attacks quickly. Atogepant is a medicine currently approved for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults and has been shown to be effective and well tolerated when taken daily to prevent migraine attacks. This study includes double-blind phase means that neither the participants nor the study doctors know who is given which study treatment (atogepant or placebo) followed by an open-label phase meaning that both participants and study doctors know which study treatment is given. All participants will receive atogepant during the open-label part of the study. This study will include 1300 participants aged 18-75 years with a history of migraine at approximately 160 sites across the world. All participants will receive both atogepant and placebo to treat qualifying migraines. At the start of the study, participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 dosing sequences to determine when they will receive atogepant and when they will receive placebo during the study. After treating 4 qualifying migraine attacks, participants will receive open-label atogepant for any additional migraine attacks they have until the end of the study (Week 24). There may be a bigger responsibility for participants in this study than there would be in participants receiving standard of care treatment. participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic, as well as telephone visits, and the effects of treatment will be checked by completion of questionnaires in an electronic diary, medical assessments, blood tests, and checking for side effects.
NCT06810505
Migraine is a disease that most often causes moderate to severe headache on one side of the head. A migraine attack is a headache that may be accompanied by throbbing, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, or other symptoms. The goals of the study are to evaluate adverse events and how well treatment of atogepant works compared to placebo (looks like the study treatment but contains no medicine) in preventing chronic migraine in participants between 12 and 17 years of age. Atogepant is a medicine currently approved in the United States and Europe for the preventive treatment of migraine in adult patients with migraine and is being studied for the preventative treatment of chronic migraine in participants between the ages of 12 and 17 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 groups to be treated with either atogepant or placebo. This study is double-blinded, which means that neither the patients nor the study doctors know who is given which study treatment. Approximately 420 participants 12 to 17 years of age with chronic migraine will be enrolled at approximately 70 sites across the world. Participants will receive oral tablets of atogepant or placebo once daily for 12 weeks and will be followed for 4 weeks. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and the effects of treatment will be checked by completion of a daily diary, medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

NCT07454798
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a home-based virtual reality (VR) neurofeedback program is feasible and acceptable for adolescents with migraine. The study will also explore whether the program may improve headache-related outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it feasible to enroll, randomize, and retain adolescents with migraine in this study? Do participants complete the VR sessions and study procedures as intended? Are there preliminary signals that the VR neurofeedback program may improve headache-related disability and symptoms? Researchers will compare Immersive Neurofeedback Self-Regulation Training (INSeRT), which uses brain activity recorded from a wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) headband to guide the VR experience, to a comparison VR program that presents immersive imagery without neurofeedback or guided relaxation training. Participants will: Complete a 4-week baseline period that includes headache logs, questionnaires, and a laboratory EEG assessment Be randomly assigned to one of two VR programs Complete VR sessions at home three times per week for 4 weeks Complete questionnaires at the end of treatment and again approximately 3 months later Repeat the laboratory EEG assessment at the end of treatment

NCT05509400
This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of rimegepant in a population of adults that are unsuitable for triptan medications due to a previous intolerance, lack of efficacy, or contraindication (including a history of clinically-relevant cardiovascular disease).
NCT07535723
Chronic migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder that significantly affects patients' daily functioning, mental health, and quality of life. Management typically includes acute and preventive treatments, but effectiveness can be limited due to medication overuse or delayed onset of action. OnabotulinumtoxinA injections provide proven long-term preventive benefits, while Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) block offers rapid but short-term relief. Although both treatments are used individually, evidence on the combined effect is limited. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining OnabotulinumtoxinA injections with GON block, assessing improvements in headache frequency, severity, and patient quality of life compared to single therapy.
NCT06735833
This is a prospective, multi-center, feasibility study to investigate safety and effectiveness of TRUFILL n-BCA liquid embolic system in bilateral middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for the treatment of refractory chronic migraine.
NCT07028684
Migraine is a primary headache type that usually manifests itself with unilateral, moderate to severe throbbing headaches, often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. The prevalence and impact of headaches are more pronounced, especially among women, and this condition is among the top five causes of disability in women. Reflexology, one of the complementary treatment methods, is an alternative medical practice that produces beneficial effects on the human body by applying pressure to specific points or areas called "reflex areas" on the feet, hands, and ears.The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effects of foot reflexology massage on pain, sleep, and quality of life in women with migraine. All patients included in this study will be evaluated with the following tests and scales three times: before, after, and 2 weeks after the end of the 5-week (10 sessions in total) treatment. After the initial evaluations of the study, migraine patients will be divided into 2 groups using a simple random sampling method in the computer randomization program. The first group will receive a foot reflexology massage. The second group will be the control group.
NCT06323928

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rimegepant when administered during the peri-menstrual period (PMP) for intermittent prevention of migraine in women who experience menstrual migraine attacks.
NCT07370142
Purpose of the Study: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes of "Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF)" treatment in patients with chronic headaches and facial pain. The SPG is a major neural junction for craniofacial pain signaling. PRF is a safe, minimally invasive technique that modulates pain transmission without causing thermal damage to the nerve tissue. Methodology: The study will include 55 volunteer patients at the Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Algology Clinic who are unresponsive to medical treatments. Patients will undergo the standard "fluoroscopy-guided infrazygomatic approach." Pain intensity (VAS), quality of life, patient satisfaction, and changes in analgesic consumption will be recorded at baseline and during follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure using various clinical parameters. Expected Benefits and Risks: The research intends to provide evidence regarding the 6-month long-term impact of this intervention on pain scores and patient well-being. Since the study follows routine clinical practices, it poses no additional risks to participants and aims to optimize future treatment strategies.
