Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: We detect RLS through contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (c-TCD). The normal individuals will be selected to group 1, while those who suffer from migraine will be selected to group 2. Patients of group 2 with large RLS are required to take TTE and brain MRI.

Who may be able to join

  • For group 1: Normal healthy individual without migraine.
  • For group 2: Clinical history of migraine diagnosed by a neurologist according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with stenotic intracranial or extracranial arteries or intracranial abnormalities diagnosed with TCD.

About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence and extent of right-to-left shunt (RLS) in Chinese migraineurs, and the morbidity of silent cerebral infarction in migraineurs.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective multicenter study of Chinese population. Participants (normal individuals without migraine and migraineurs) are included after standardized diagnostic procedures (TCD and c-TCD). For migraineurs with large RLS further examinations (c-TTE and brain MRI) are required. Up to 10 study sites nationwide will be needed to recruit the planned participant population during a 1-year period.

The information of each participants will be registered, including basic facts, the longitudinal headache history, frequency, location, quality, intensity, duration, accompanied symptoms, precipitating and exacerbating factors, with or without aura, MIDAS and HIT-6 questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Right-to-left Shunt and Migraine, run by Yingqi Xing at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02425696, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jan 2018.
