COMPLETE-2 is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing a strategy of physiology-guided complete revascularization to angiography-guided complete revascularization in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone successful culprit lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). COMPLETE-2 OCT is a large scale, prospective, multi-centre, observational, imaging study of patients with STEMI or NSTEMI and multivessel CAD in a subset of eligible COMPLETE-2 patients.
The study is a prospective, observational study of patients admitted to the BLOCK COPD network hospitals with acute AMI and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to determine the prevalence of COPD in patients admitted to the hospital with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to characterize the phenotypic expression and severity of their underlying lung disease. Patients with will be identified via the EMR. 571 participants will be enrolled.
Vascular and myocardial inflammation are significantly increased in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, are closely correlated to LDL-C levels, and are associated with these adverse consequences in the post-ACS patient population. Serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kerin type 9 (PCSK9) levels are also increased in ACS, may raise LDL-C, and the investigators' pre-clinical studies indicate that PCSK9 is also a potent inducer of vascular inflammation. The addition of the PCSK9 antibody evolocumab, currently approved to lower LDL-C in certain patient populations, to current medical therapies would appear to be of particular benefit in patients with an ACS by markedly reducing LDL-C, stabilizing vulnerable plaque, and limiting inflammation-associated myocardial cell loss and resultant dysfunction.
The purpose of this clinical study is to learn if there are any changes in how blood gets to your heart muscle and if your heart size changed after your heart attack.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of rimegepant 75 mg orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) single-dose or zavegepant 10 mg nasal spray single-dose as acute migraine treatments during Emergency Department (ED) encounters. Although these two calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors (CGRP) receptor antagonists are FDA-approved for the indication of acute migraine treatment, past studies have been limited to the outpatient setting. If these medications are effective in the Emergency Department, their delivery methods alone may have advantages over intravenous medications commonly used for acute migraine in EDs, including quicker time to treatment delivery, faster pain relief, and reduced ED length of stay. This investigation is a pilot study to examine rimegepant and zavegepant in an ED, to gain insight on effectiveness in this setting. This study will administer rimegepant 75 mg ODT single-dose or zavegepant 10 mg nasal spray single-dose as acute migraine treatments to 100 patients in the Emergency Department. It is a single center, open-label, non-controlled 2-group clinical trial (allocated 1:1 to rimegepant or zavegepant via pseudo-random assignment). The study will enroll adults in the ED meeting ICHD-3 criteria for migraine or probable migraine, with or without aura.
Zavegepant (Zavzpret) is approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in the US. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of zavegepant for the acute treatment of migraine attacks amongst participants who are using calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) migraine preventive treatments.
The study consists of a screening visit, out-patient treatment of a moderate or severe migraine attack with a single dose of the study medication within 8 weeks, and End-of-Study Visit 2-7 days after dosing.
This pilot crossover study will evaluate 3 different potencies of inhaled cannabis (2.5%, 5%, and 10%) and inhaled placebo cannabis for the acute treatment of migraine.
The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and adverse events of inhaled isopropyl alcohol vapor (IAV) versus placebo (inhaled eucalyptus scent (IES) (1:20 dilution in mineral oil) for treating nausea associated with acute migraine attacks.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of BHV-3500 (zavegepant) versus placebo in the acute treatment of moderate or severe migraine.
This crossover study will evaluate 3 different treatments of vaporized cannabis (THC, THC/CBD mix, and CBD) and vaporized placebo cannabis for the acute treatment of migraine.
Migraine is a significant health problem in the United States with 34 million Americans suffering from migraine attacks every year. High-flow oxygen has been successfully used in several clinical studies. Vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the scalp has been proposed as a possible mechanism of action. Some researchers have suggested that the cooling effect of high-flow dry oxygen may be in part responsible for the pain relief. The main objective is to test the hypothesis that the pain relief obtained during high-flow trans-nasal gas therapy is due to the cooling effect of dry gas on the nasal mucosa. The study entails recruiting patients from a headache clinic, being escorted to the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) Johns Hopkins Bayview and randomized into different groups (humidified oxygen, dry air, humidified air and dry oxygen). Eventually, patients will be asked to fill out a questionnaire on pain, nausea, sound and light sensitivity graded on a scale of 1-10. Readings are noted at baseline, 15 mins, 2 hours and 24 hours post-therapy.
AXS-07 is an oral, investigational medicine consisting of MoSEIC meloxicam and rizatriptan, which is being developed for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. AXS-07 tablets are formulated to provide an enhanced rate of absorption of meloxicam. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AXS-07 compared to meloxicam, rizatriptan, and placebo for the treatment of a migraine attack. This is a randomized, double-blind, 4-arm, parallel group, single-dose, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects who successfully complete screening and continue to meet all entry criteria will be randomly assigned to take one dose of either AXS-07, meloxicam, rizatriptan, or placebo upon the occurrence of a qualifying migraine.
A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Oral CL-H1T in the Treatment of Acute Migraine Pain.
The goal of this project is determine how acute mild dehydration impacts blood pressure control at rest and during static exercise. This protocol will test healthy young and older adults in a normally hydrated and dehydrated condition.
Migraine affects 10-28% of children and adolescents and yet 20-30% of patients are ineffectively treated with current oral and nasal options. Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs), injections of local anesthetics over branches of the occipital and/or trigeminal nerves, have been associated with possible benefit for pediatric headaches in case series, and may be useful for both acute and preventive treatment of migraine for children who fail less invasive treatments. In fact, 80% of pediatric headache specialists reported using peripheral nerve blocks and carry low risk of serious side effects; however, peripheral nerve blocks have never been tested, formally, in a randomized pediatric trial. By applying a novel design that utilizes lidocaine cream as a run-in step, investigators intend to test the efficacy of the most commonly used peripheral nerve block, the greater occipital nerve (GON) block, as an acute treatment for pediatric migraine and determine whether lidocaine cream leads to successful blinding of the injection. The GON block is expected to prove effective in decreasing the pain of migraine, with lidocaine being superior to saline and lidocaine cream maintaining blinding.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of BHV-3000 (rimegepant ODT) versus placebo in subjects with Acute Migraines.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of zolmitriptan nasal spray (ZNS) in the acute treatment of migraine headache in subjects ages 6 to 11 years. Part 1: Approximately 20 weeks (includes screening and double-blind treatment). * Screening will be performed based on the inclusion exclusion criteria specified in the study protocol. * Randomize approximately 288 subjects into the double-blind crossover phase. Part 2: Approximately 100 subjects who complete the double-blind crossover phase will enter part 2, a 6 month open-label safety extension (OLE). Efficacy will be evaluated in the double-blind part of the trial. Safety will be evaluated in both the double-blind and the OLE.
Evaluate the feasibility of using a mobile interface to control the insufflator device administering treatment for aborting (stopping) an acute episode of migraine. The patient, under clinical supervision, will use the mobile interface to "self administer" the treatment when experiencing an acute episode of migraine. The supervising clinician will monitor the patient and the device to make sure that no harm could come to the patient and will be ready to intervene if any adverse effects were suspected to or in the process of happening.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of BHV-3000 (rimegepant) versus placebo in subjects with Acute Migraines
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of BHV-3000 (rimegepant) versus placebo in subjects with Acute Migraines
Several observational studies have shown improvement in episodic migraine with the use of greater occipital nerve block as an acute therapy, and a recent placebo controlled trial did not show a decrease in frequency of episodic or chronic migraine; however, there has never been a placebo controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of GONB as an acute treatment for headache, and there has been no determination of guidelines for selection of patients who would be most likely to respond to GONB. In light of the above, the investigators propose a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial examining the use of GONB with lidocaine/bupivocaine in patients with an acute episodic migraine. The results of this trial are expected to guide more appropriate therapeutic management of these participants and the optimal use of this procedure. 50 subjects will be entered into this study. This study is being conducted at Thomas Jefferson University only.
This is an emergency department based randomized trial in which we compare two different treatment for migraine headache. The goal is to decrease the number of headache days during the week after ED discharge.
This will be an exploratory observational trial of rescue acupuncture for the treatment of acute migraine in military beneficiaries to gain information to inform the power analysis of a larger, more definitive trial. Researchers do not seek to definitively answer the question of whether this acupuncture protocol is effective; rather, we seek to estimate the proportion of migraine episodes that result in headache-free status 20-30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours after an acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatments will be subject dependent, and points could include the N point (on scalp); various auricular points to include Shen Men, Point Zero, thalamus and Omega-2; body points to include Liver 2, Liver 3, Gall Bladder 20, bladder 10; and surface release over tense areas in the neck or shoulders. Researchers will document the points used, and data will be aggregated to determine overall effectiveness. Sub-group analysis by points will be performed to determine if there is more usefulness in 1 point or combination of points. These estimates will inform statistical power calculations for a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) that directly compares the effectiveness of Rescue Acupuncture with medical management of acute migraine with rescue medication. Researchers will also assess the feasibility of this study protocol as well as patient receptivity and satisfaction.
This research study will be a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Because ketamine has yet to be directly studied as treatment for acute migraine headache in the emergency department, the research team is initially interested if ketamine can reduce pain scores in headache patients and reduce the incidence of recurrence while exhibiting an adequate safety profile. By using a placebo-controlled study design, the research team can adequately investigate the effectiveness of the medication in a subgroup previously not well studied.
This is a randomized, sham-controlled study of greater occipital nerve block (GONB) using bupivacaine 0.5% for emergency department patients with acute migraine. Patients are only enrolled if they fail first line therapy with metoclopramide.
The goal of this study is to determine whether timolol eye drops are effective in alleviating acute migraine headaches. Subjects will be randomized to receive either timolol eye drops or placebo (tears) to use as a migraine abortive medication.
Opioids are commonly used to treat migraine in North American Emergency Departments. We are comparing efficacy and adverse events of hydromorphone, an opioid, to that of prochlorperazine, a dopamine antagonist with known efficacy in migraine. Prochlorperazine will be combined with diphenhydramine to prevent adverse events.
Severe hypercholesterolemia produced by conditions such as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is associated with multiple complications including premature atherosclerotic disease. There is evidence that microvascular perfusion, particularly flow reserve, in critical organs is limited due to abnormalities in plasma viscosity, abnormal RBC deformability, and an imbalance between vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. There is little is currently known about acute changes in microvascular blood flow and microvascular rheology that occur in response to plasmapharesis which is used in some patients to lower critically elevated cholesterol levels. Our research group has pioneered CEU methods for assessing myocardial and skeletal muscle perfusion, and has previously demonstrated in pre-clinical models that acute hyperlipidemia produces a reduction in microvascular RBC transit rate. In this study, the investigators will assess acute changes in microvascular perfusion in patients undergoing clinically-indicated plasmapharesis.
