About this trial

EMBRACE-OBS is the first phase of the EMBRACE research program. This single-site observational registry accesses and analyzes patient-reported outcome data already collected through routine clinical care from adults with migraine who have undergone or plan to undergo middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization. The study describes changes in headache frequency, headache severity, medication use, migraine-related disability, quality of life, and reported adverse events over time without influencing clinical care.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults aged 18 to 64 years

Diagnosis of migraine

Have undergone or plan to undergo middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization as part of routine clinical care, independent of study participation

Able and willing to provide informed consent

Disqualifiers

Age under 18 years

Pregnancy at the time of enrollment

Inability to provide informed consent

Inability to read and understand English sufficiently to complete informed consent and patient-reported outcome assessments

Trial population

Adults aged 18 to 64 years with a diagnosis of migraine who have undergone or plan to undergo middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization as part of routine clinical care at Cortex Neurovascular. Participants are enrolled in a prospective observational registry that accesses and analyzes clinical and patient-reported outcome data already documented during routine care. Enrollment does not influence clinical decision-making, procedural technique, device selection, or follow-up care.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization

    Procedure/Surgery

    Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization performed as part of routine clinical care at the discretion of the treating physician. The procedure is independent of study participation and is not assigned by the study protocol. The research activity consists solely of accessing and analyzing data already documented through routine clinical care.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Patient-Reported Headache Frequency

Change in patient-reported headache frequency, measured as headache days per month, from baseline to 12 months following middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization performed as part of routine clinical care.

Time frame
Baseline and 12 Months

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in HIT-6 Score

Change in migraine-related disability as assessed by the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) score (range: 36-78; higher scores indicate greater headache impact/worse outcome) documented during routine clinical care.

Time frame
Baseline and 12 Months
