About this study

Official title: A Random Controlled Trial a Comprehensive Migraine Intervention at the Time of Discharge From the Emergency Department After Treatment for Acute Migraine

Despite the fact that more than 10% of Americans suffer from migraine, this headache disorder is often not diagnosed and not appropriately treated. The goal of this proposal is to determine whether a migraine protocol designed for use in an emergency room can be used to deliver the headache care that many migraine patients never receive. This is a randomized trial. Consecutive inadequately treated migraine patients will be randomized to TYPICAL care or to COMPREHENSIVE care. Those patients in the comprehensive care arm will receive the following intervention: 1) reinforcement of diagnosis, 2) an adaptable online educational intervention, reading material, and headache diaries, 3) two migraine specific medications and 4) expedited referral to a headache specialist, if needed. Patients in the typical care arm will receive whatever intervention the emergency physician feels is most appropriate. Headache surveys will be used toll if the protocol improves migraine-related pain and functional disability one month after the ER visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Migraine Functional Impairment as Measured by Score on the Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT6) Scale

    This is a standardized instrument commonly used in migraine research. Participants answer 6 Likert questions about the impact of migraine on their daily life. A score of 36, the lowest possible score, indicates minimal functional impairment. A score of 78, the highest possible score, indicates substantial functional impairment

    Measured: 1 month after study enrollment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants Who Report Satisfaction With Treatment, as Measured by a Three Item Likert Scale

    Participants could report that they were completely satisfied, mostly satisfied or unsatisfied. Reported here are the number who were unsatisfied.

    Measured: 1 month after study enrollment

  2. Number of Participants Who Report They Are Comfortable With Disease Management, as Measured by a Three-item Likert Scale

    Participants were asked to describe themselves as very comfortable, somewhat comfortable, or uncomfortable. Reported here are those who were very comfortable

    Measured: 1 month after study enrollment

  3. Number of Participants Who Returned to the Emergency Department for Management of Headache

    We report the number of patient who returned to the emergency department for management of headache

    Measured: 1 month after study enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Naproxen, Sumatriptan and Migraine education in people with Migraine, run by Montefiore Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 31 Aug 2018. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Migraine Functional Impairment as Measured by Score on the Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT6) Scale (time frame: 1 month after study enrollment). 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 31 Aug 2018.
