Clinical Trial for Migraines in Children

Study Location(s): Owensboro and Bowling Green Kentucky, Evansville Indiana

Migraine is one of the most common neurological conditions in pediatrics with a prevalence of approximately 8% in children under 20 years of age.  Migraine occurs more frequently in adolescents compared with the younger pediatric age groups.  There is a significant increase in migraine incidence in females after puberty. In children and adolescents, headache and migraine can result in missed school days, poorer academic performance and a negative impact on quality of life.  There are few treatments approved for the acute treatment of migraine in adolescents, and only 1 treatment approved for children aged 6 to 11 years. Thus, there remains a significant unmet need for the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents.  This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study of an investigational medicine for acute migraine in children ages 6 – 17.  Patient volunteers will have an option to enter a 52 week long-term open-label extension study.  Click here for more information on living with pediatric migraine.

There is no cost to participate. Volunteers receive no cost investigational medicine and no cost health exams. No insurance needed.​ Time and travel compensation up to $550 may be available.
