Migraine clinical trials at University of California Health

8 in progress, 7 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • PIVOTAL STUDY EVALUATING SAFETY and EFFICACY of the SHIRATRONICS MIGRAINE THERAPY SYSTEM

    open to eligible people ages 22 years and up

    Prospective, multi-center, double blind, randomized, sham-controlled study to evaluate neuromodulation in patient with chronic migraine. The study hypothesis to be tested is the mean reduction in mean monthly headache days between patients in treatment versus sham.

  • Rimegepant in Pediatric Subjects for the Acute Treatment of Migraine

    open to eligible people ages 6-17

    The purpose of this study is to test the long-term safety of rimegepant in the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents (≥ 6 to < 18 years of age).

  • Management of Acute Tinnitus with Migraine Medications

    open to eligible people ages 25-85

    Tinnitus represents one of the most common and distressing otologic problems, and it causes various somatic and psychological disorders that interfere with the quality of life. Despite too many research projects on finding the mechanism of tinnitus, its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. It is well understood that many factors, such as poor education, lower income, or occupational, and recreational activity associated with high noise exposure, influence the prevalence and risk of tinnitus. Although the economic and emotional impact of tinnitus is large, there is currently no FDA-approved medication to treat this condition. However, there are pharmacological options to address the stress, anxiety, and depression that are caused by tinnitus. In this project, the investigators intend to use medications for patients with acute tinnitus to decrease the impact of tinnitus in their daily lives and activities. There are some studies on medications treating tinnitus; however, there are few randomized clinical trials to prove the efficacy of the treatment. The frequency and loudness of tinnitus will be measured before and after the course. Functional MRI of the brain will be obtained to view any changes that may occur before and after the treatment.

  • Children and Adolescents With Migraine: Acute Treatment

  • Responding With Evidence and Access for Childhood Headaches

    open to eligible people ages 10-17

    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.

  • Treatment of Meniere's Disease With Migraine Medications

    open to eligible people ages 25-85

    Meniere's disease (MD) is a chronic disease with a variety of fluctuating signs and symptoms, which include vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing noise in the ear), aural pressure (feeling of ear fullness), and disequilibrium (lack of stability). Vertigo represents one of the most common and distressing problems in MD patients, and it causes various somatic and psychological disorders that interfere with the patient's quality of life. Despite the large economic and emotional impact of symptoms in MD patients, there is no FDA-approved medication to treat this debilitating condition. As such, our objective in this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of novel medications in treating MD that have previously shown astonishing promise in our clinical practice.

  • Emgality for Migraine in Breastmilk

    open to eligible females ages 18-45

    The goal of this project is to evaluate galcanezumab transfer into maternal breastmilk, and to evaluate infant (growth, development, constipation, colic, infections) and maternal (headache) outcomes for dyads in which the mother was treated with galcanezumab and to compare outcomes for infants who were or were not breastfed after maternal treatment. In this prospective observational study, the study team proposes to prospectively collect serial milk samples from 30 adult women who are treated with galcanezumab for migraine. Mothers who are interested in participating will be connected with us, the main clinical site, by neurologists across the USA. Mothers must carry a diagnosis of migraine, be aged 18-45 years, and be between 14 days and 9 months postpartum, and still nursing, at the time of enrollment. This study will fill a significant unmet need as women of childbearing potential are over-represented in the migraine population, and yet they are excluded from clinical trials of migraine treatments during pregnancy and lactation.

  • Inhaled Cannabis for Acute Migraine Treatment

    Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later

    This pilot crossover study will evaluate 3 different potencies of inhaled cannabis (2.5%, 5%, and 10%) and inhaled placebo cannabis for the acute treatment of migraine.
