The Effect of Sumatriptan and Placebo on Isosorbide-5-mononitrate Induced Headache. Development of a Pragmatic Migraine Model

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2015

30 participants

Abstract

To develop a pragmatic migraine model the investigators will induce headache in healthy volunteers and in patients with migraine without aura with a long lasting Nitrogen Oxide (NO) donor. If the headache responds to sumatriptan, the model can be used to test new drug candidates.

Conditions: Migraine.

Primary outcome: Median headache score 0 hours after sumatriptan/placebo; Median headache score 2 hours after sumatriptan/placebo.

Enrollment: 30 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 30 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
