Your Migraine Treatment Study Starts Here
We understand how migraines can disrupt daily living activities like relationships with loved ones, work, social life, and your overall well-being and health. With impact to more than 39 million people in the United States, we’re working for alternative ways to enhance the wellbeing of people so the joys of life can be experienced with less interruption from migraine pain.
Benefits of Joining a Clinical Trial
Many studies include compensation for time and travel
Study related medication and care provided at no cost
Health insurance is not required.
STUDY PURPOSE
The goal of this study is to find out if an investigational medication helps treat migraine pain and to determine the best doses to test in future studies. It will test the medication at different doses while checking how much pain you feel from migraines and how much the pain changes after taking the study medicine. To do this, you’ll answer questions about your migraines in an electronic app on your cell phone. The questionnaires will also collect information on any other migraine symptoms you have and how your migraines impact your daily activities.
Individuals Who Best Fit the Initial Criteria:
- Are 18 to 70 years old
- Have had migraines for at least year with or without warning signs
- Have migraines that last between 4 and 72 hours if untreated and documented by a doctor
- Have between 2 and 10 moderate to severe migraine attacks per month
What to Expect if you Volunteer to Participate:
Volunteering for a clinical study is a personal choice and a decision that you can change at any point within the study. Each participant will have 3 study visits to the site. The Screening Visit (Visit 1), can take up to 28 days while we check if you qualify for the study. If you’re eligible, your time in the study could last up to 52 days from when you receive the study medication (Visit 2), treat one migraine, and return for your final visit (Visit 3).
Overall, you might be in the study for up to 80 days total.
If you participate in this study, you may be compensated for your effort and time investment for on-site study visits and the timely completion of the questions in your electronic questionnaires.
A clinical trial is a carefully designed research study involving human volunteers to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new drug or treatment. Clinical trials are essential for evaluating the benefits and risks of medical interventions, ultimately informing healthcare decisions and regulatory approvals.
As a clinical trial or observational study participant, your responsibilities and what you will be required to do can vary depending on the study, its objectives, and the phase of the trial.
Some common activities and responsibilities you may encounter as a participant include: diagnostic tests, treatments, procedures, doctor visits, dietary changes, exercise and/or other lifestyle changes. Observational studies often involve minimal effort, such as completing questionnaires, sharing test results, maintaining a diet or exercise log.
Joining a clinical trial can provide access to cutting-edge treatments, close medical monitoring, and an opportunity to contribute to medical knowledge. Participants may experience improved health outcomes and specialized care while potentially receiving compensation for volunteering.
Clinical trials are designed with a strong emphasis on the safety of participants, and multiple safeguards are in place to minimize risks, including careful study design, oversight by institutional review boards and routine monitoring of study data by independent experts. Researchers must inform participants of the risks, benefits and/or side effects they discover.
Yes, you can drop out of a clinical trial study at any time, and you have the right to do so without facing any penalties or consequences. This is often referred to as "withdrawal of consent."
Voluntary participation is a fundamental principle of clinical research. You are not obligated to continue in a trial if you no longer wish to do so.
Determining your eligibility to participate in a clinical trial involves a thorough evaluation of specific eligibility criteria set forth by the study's researchers and sponsors. The criteria help define the patient population being studied and are designed to protect the safety of participants in the trial.
Providing accurate information about your medical history and health status is crucial for your safety and the integrity of the research. If you are not eligible for one trial, you may still be eligible for other trials in the future, so it's worth exploring your options if you are interested in participating in clinical research.
