About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of neurostimulation for the treatment of intractable chronic migraine as well as to detect infrequent complications or problems only apparent in "real-world" practice

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02227758
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
implanted chronic migraine patientsPatients diagnosed with chronic migraine, failed 3 or more preventative drugs, with at least moderate disability, and implanted with a St. Jude Medical Conformité Européenne approved implantable neurostimulation system

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events (First 12 Weeks)

    Events were classified as hardware related when a malfunction or migration of any device component including leads, extensions, IPG's, occurred. Events will classified as biological in cases where there was a biological reaction (hematoma, pain, etc.) to either the device or the surgical procedure to implant the device. Events were classified as stimulation related if the event was known to be caused by stimulation.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Headache Pain Relief

    Patient reported headache pain relief in percentage for the previous month; patients were asked about their pain relief in percentage in the previous month; patient were asked "in the last month", how much headache relief has the implant provided (0% represents no relief, 100% represents complete relief)

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Headache Days

    Percentage change in number of Headache days from Baseline to 3 Months. Headache days are the amount of days the subject had an headache in the previous 3 months as captured by the MIDAS questionnaire.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Migraine Disability

    Percentage change in Midas score from Baseline to 3 Months. The Midas questionnaire consists out of 5 questions to be answered by the patient. Three questions address the number of missed days due to headache in school or paid work, household work and family, social or leasure activities. The two remaining questions document the number of additional days with significant limitations to activity (defined as at least 50% reduced productivity) in the domains of employment and household work. The total score is the sum of days completed for questions 1-5. Midas score ranges from 0 to 21+ with higher values indicating greater disability.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Patient Satisfaction

    Patients very satisfied or satisfied with the headache relief since the implant. Patients were asked about their satisfaction (very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, unsatisfied, very unsatisfied)

    Measured: 3 months

  6. Physician Satisfaction

    Patients for who the physician is very satisfied or satisfied with the patient headache relief since the implant. Physicians were asked about their satisfaction (very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied or dissatisfied, unsatisfied, very unsatisfied)

    Measured: 3 months

  7. Quality of Life

    Patients who reported the change in overall quality of life since the implant with greatly improved or improved. Patients were asked about their change in overall quality of life (Greatly improved, improved, neither improved or deteriorated, deteriorated, greatly deteriorated)

    Measured: 3 months

  8. Quality of Life

    Patients for who the physician reported the change in overall quality of life of the patient since the implant with greatly improved or improved. Physicians were asked about the change in overall quality of life of the patient(Greatly improved, improved, neither improved or deteriorated, deteriorated, greatly deteriorated)

    Measured: 3 months
