About this study

This is a cross-sectional, real-world observational, community pharmacy-based study in which adults treated with a triptan for their migraine will self-report productivity and activity impairment using a web-based portal or paper-based questionnaire.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the productivity and activity impairment associated with migraine in adults treated with a triptan.

Participant identification will be made using pharmacies member of the PROxy Network. Eligible participants will be identified using the prescription of any formulation of triptans either when filling or refilling a prescription of a triptan or in the pharmacy electronic database (patients with a renewal in the last 3 months).

The PROxy Network is a research network bringing together community pharmacies across Quebec to facilitate the generation of real-world evidence. This network is designed to better understand a disease or a treatment using patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The PROxy Network is an initiative of PeriPharm Inc., a company specializing in pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire

    Patient-reported outcome: The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) is a 5-item, self-administered questionnaire designed to quantify headache-related disability over the past 3 months. The MIDAS is scored as the sum of five questions, each measured as days in the last 3 months, and then categorized into four disability grades with higher scores indicating greater disability: ''Grade I - Little to no disability'' for 0 to 5 days, ''Grade II - Mild disability'' for 6 to 10 days, ''Grade III - Moderate disability'' for 11 to 20 days and ''Grade IV - Severe disability'' for 21 days and over.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Migraine, run by PeriPharm at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Apr 2023.
