Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel therapy for treatment of migraine, pain reduction and relief of associated symptoms during ongoing migraine attacks, and presence of a preventive effect two months post treatment. Another purpose is to investigate if and how this treatment affects manifestations of the autonomic nervous system activity.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in pain intensity according to VAS-scales (0-10)

    Documentation of pain intensity prior to treatment initiation (baseline value), every 5 minutes during treatment and post treatment.

    Time frame: Estimation 40 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. RR (Heart rate)-interval

    ECG will be obtained during treatment

    Time frame: Estimation 40 minutes

  2. Change from baseline in sympathetic nervous system activity

    Plethysmographic measurements will be obtained during treatment (finger clamp on finger).

    Time frame: Estimation 40 minutes

  3. Blood pressure

    Will be obtained prior to treatment initiation and post treatment

    Time frame: Estimation 40 minutes

  4. Change from baseline in attack frequency based on completed patient diaries

    Time frame: 3 to 4 months

  5. Change from baseline in attack intensity based on completed patient diaries

    Time frame: 3 to 4 months

  6. Change from baseline in attack duration based on completed patient diaries

    Time frame: 3 to 4 months

  7. Change from baseline in medicine consumption based on completed patient diaries

    Time frame: 3 to 4 months
