About this study

Official title: OnabotulinumtoxinA Injections in Chronic Migraine, Targeted to Sites of Pericranial Myofascial Pain : an Observational, Open Label, Real-life Cohort Study.

This study was an observational, open-label, cohort-study conducted in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. We prospectively and systematically recorded data from the patients and analyzed them retrospectively. During a first phase, called adaptation period, the injector (DR) used a follow-the-pain approach in order to determine the optimal injection scheme for each individual. The possible injection sites were the corrugator, temporalis, and trapezius muscles. Patients were systematically asked about the usual topography and time course of migraine attacks, and the existence of pain or stiffness of the cervical muscles. If the pain was predominantly located in the frontotemporal area, the corrugator and temporalis muscles were injected bilaterally. When the patients had predominant pain in the back of the head, or when their headache pain frequently started and/or ended in the trapezius muscles, both trapezius muscles were injected. These muscle groups were injected together if pain was both frontotemporal and cervico-occipital. When this first set of injections was efficacious, patients were re-injected in the same manner at the time when the frequency of headache days definitely increased. In the absence of efficacy, the paradigm was modified using the same follow-the-pain approach. Once the best procedure was determined for each patient, it was reproduced at each subsequent injection session. This adaptation phase could necessitate up to three sessions. The observation period started 8 weeks before the first efficacious injection and ended 2 months after the second consecutive efficacious injection, or in case of inefficacy. Throughout the adaptation and the observation phases, patients kept a headache diary where they were asked to note the days with headache and the use of rescue medication.

What is being measured

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

  1. frequency of headache days

    change from baseline in frequency of headache days (as recorded in the patient diary) for the 2 months-period ending with week 8

    Measured: Week 8

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the proportion of patients with a ≥ 70% decrease in headache day frequency

    the proportion of patients with a ≥ 70% decrease in headache day frequency

    Measured: Week 8

  2. the decrease in triptan consumption

    the decrease in triptan consumption

    Measured: Week 8

  3. the assessment of patient satisfaction

    the assessment of patient satisfaction on a 0 to10 numerical scale (0=no improvement, and 10=maximum possible improvement).

    Measured: Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Migraine, run by University Hospital, Limoges.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 5 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

frequency of headache days (time frame: Week 8). 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 NCT03175263, 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 5 Jun 2017.
