Trial summary

In patients known with migraine without aura a migraine headache or migraine like headache will be induced by infusion of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). The patients will then be stimulated with noxious heat via a thermode placed at the forehead. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Functional MRI (fMRI) in Patients With Migraine Without Aura Provoked by

In patients known with migraine without aura a migraine headache or migraine like headache will be induced by infusion of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). The patients will then be stimulated with noxious heat via a thermode placed at the forehead. At the same time the Blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) response will be measured via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to estimate the central-nervous pain response. The regions of interest (ROI) will be thalamic region and medulla oblongata.

Then the patients will be given pain relif in form of injection of sumatriptan and the effect of this will also be registered via measuring the BOLD response at the RIO's previously defined. A 3-Tesla MRI scanner will be used in this trail.

This study will give us key knowledge of the trigeminal pain pathway and the central processing i.e sensitization during a migraine attach.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing infusion of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) in people with Migraine Without Aura, run by Danish Headache Center at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in BOLD response before and after CGRP infusion.. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2009.
