Chronic MigraineCEREBNCT07691164
Evolution of the Cognitive Profile and Quality of Life of Adult Patients Suffering From Severe Migraines Under Preventive Treatment
A study testing Cognitive assessment mapping in people with Chronic Migraine, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
In chronic migraine, we routinely use innovative treatments such as peri-cranial injections of botulinum toxin type A according to the PREEMPT protocol, or intravenous Eptinezumab, both targeting the Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP). Read more about this study

About this study
In chronic migraine, we routinely use innovative treatments such as peri-cranial injections of botulinum toxin type A according to the PREEMPT protocol, or intravenous Eptinezumab, both targeting the Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP). We observe significant improvement in 70-80% of our patients after one year of treatment, corresponding to at least a 30-50% reduction in the number of migraines per month, together with improvements in anxiety and depression comorbidities (HADS), catastrophizing scores (PCS), and the impact of migraines on quality of life (HIT-6).
Our main hypothesis, based on our clinical experience and the literature, is that the cognitive profile of these adult patients-particularly attention and memory, as assessed by a validated self-report questionnaire-improves following treatment with botulinum toxin type A administered according to the PREEMPT protocol or intravenous anti-CGRP antibody infusions (Eptinezumab), alongside improvement in migraine disease activity (number of migraines per month), after one year of treatment.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
In chronic migraine, we routinely use innovative treatments such as peri-cranial injections of botulinum toxin type A according to the PREEMPT protocol, or intravenous Eptinezumab, both targeting the Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP). We observe significant improvement in 70-80% of our patients after one year of treatment, corresponding to at least a 30-50% reduction in the number of migraines per month, together with improvements in anxiety and depression comorbidities (HADS), catastrophizing scores (PCS), and the impact of migraines on quality of life (HIT-6).
