Headache Ear Auditory Dizziness Sinus (HEADS) Registry

The Headache, Ear, Auditory, Dizziness, Sinus (HEADS) Registry is a study over time of individuals living in the United States who experience sinus, vestibular, auditory, and headache symptoms. Through an online portal, participants are asked questions about their symptoms, how they have affected their lives, and how effectively they have managed them. This information is then used to better understand these symptoms and to improve patient diagnosis and treatment. Some potential research benefits of the HEADS Registry include: * Improving healthcare professionals' understanding of the causes of specific head and neck symptoms. * Reducing delays in diagnosis and the use of inappropriate tests, medications, and surgeries. * Finding the most effective treatments for sinus, vestibular, and auditory disorders. * Providing participants the opportunity to be contacted for additional important research related to sinus, vestibular, and auditory disorders. All U.S. residents over the age of majority who experience sinus, vestibular, and auditory symptoms, with or without migraine, are eligible to participate. Enrollment is voluntary, confidential, and free of charge.

Study to Assess Adverse Events and Disease Activity of Oral Ubrogepant Tablets for the Acute Treatment of Migraine in Children and Adolescents (Ages 6-17)

Migraine is a common neurological disorder typically characterized by attacks of throbbing, moderate to severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine is extremely common and disabling in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective ubrogepant is in the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents. Ubrogepant is a drug approved for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. Children and adolescents (aged 6-17 years) with a history of migraine will be enrolled. The study will include 2 cohorts of participants - PK Cohort and Main Study (non-PK cohort). Participants aged 6-11 years in the PK Cohort will receive Dose A or Dose B of Ubrogepant for PK analysis to determine dose selection for the main study. In the main study, after dose selection, children aged 6-11 years will be randomized to receive either low or high dose of Ubrogepant or placebo. There is a 1 in 3 chance that a participant will be assigned to placebo. Adolescents aged 12-17 years will be randomized to receive either low or high dose of Ubrogepant or placebo with a 1 in 3 chance of placebo assignment. For qualifying migraine attacks, participants will receive oral tablets of the double-blind study intervention. There will be an option to take a second dose of double-blind study intervention (identical to initial dose), or rescue medication, at least 2 hours after the initial dose, for headache of moderate/severe intensity. Around 1059 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 120 sites in the United States. The study duration will be up to 6 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Multimodal Physiotherapy Intervention for People With Migraine

Migraine is one of the most prevalent primary headache disorders worldwide and is associated with substantial impairments in quality of life, work productivity, and psychosocial functioning. In Germany alone, nearly 18 million people are affected. Although pharmacological therapy remains a cornerstone of migraine management, non-pharmacological interventions-particularly physiotherapy-play an important role in multimodal treatment concepts and are generally well tolerated. Recent evidence suggests that physiotherapy for migraine should extend beyond conventional manual techniques and include patient education, aerobic endurance training, and self-management strategies. However, in routine clinical practice, physiotherapeutic approaches vary widely and are often not fully aligned with current evidence-based recommendations. Moreover, there is a lack of pragmatic randomized controlled studies evaluating the effectiveness of structured, evidence-based multimodal physiotherapy compared with conventional physiotherapy under real-world clinical conditions. This study is a randomized controlled pilot trial designed to compare an evidence-based multimodal physiotherapeutic intervention with conventional physiotherapy in adult patients with migraine. The multimodal intervention consists of evidence-based physiotherapy, structured patient education on migraine and pain mechanisms, guided moderate aerobic endurance training, and relaxation techniques. The control group receives conventional physiotherapy according to German standard clinical practice. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with a pre-post design. Adult patients aged 18 to 60 years with a specialist-confirmed diagnosis of migraine will be recruited from a specialized pain therapy center in Osnabrück, Germany. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the multimodal treatment group or the usual care physiotherapy group. The intervention period lasts three months. The primary outcome is migraine-related quality of life measured using the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6™). Secondary outcomes include headache frequency and intensity assessed via headache diaries, migraine-related work absenteeism, and functional impairment. Feasibility outcomes will be evaluated through the feasibility and acceptance of the multimodal treatment program from the perspective of the treating physiotherapists. The results are expected to provide robust evidence on the effectiveness and real-world applicability of multimodal treatment programs compared with usual care for migraine management in Germany. Embedded to this project there is also the prediction analysis. For that patients will be divided into those who responded to the treatment and those who stay stable or get worse after treatment. Based on that a statistical analysis will be used to assess which factors influenced the improvement of those patients after physical therapy treatment.
