Understanding Migraines and Clinical Research
Migraines cause recurring severe headaches lasting 4-72 hours, often with migraine with or without aura symptoms. These migraine days can completely disrupt your life, affecting work and family time.
Our clinical trial for migraines focuses on developing better treatments with improved efficacy and safety profiles. Through rigorous double blind clinical studies, we’re working to find new approaches to preventing migraine attacks that could help reduce your migraine attacks.
Why clinical trials matter:
- Current migraine preventive treatments don't work for everyone
- Study participants help advance medical understanding
- New acute treatment options could provide better relief
- Research includes both children and adolescents and adult populations
- Long-term solutions are needed for chronic migraine management

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you may have questions about participating in our migraine clinical trial. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from potential participants.
Am I eligible for the migraine trial?
To join our chronic migraine clinical trials, you need to be at least 18 years old with established migraine patterns. We’re looking for people experiencing frequent headache days – at least 4 migraine attacks monthly.
Whether you have episodic migraine or chronic patterns, you may qualify. Our healthcare professional will review your history during screening, including migraine with or without aura symptoms and previous treatments tried.
Why are migraine trials important?
Clinical trials are essential for developing better treatments for patients with chronic migraine. Current migraine preventive medications don’t help everyone, leaving many people struggling with frequent migraine days.
Our double blind clinical studies help identify new acute treatment options and prevention of migraine approaches. Study participants contribute valuable information that could benefit millions of adolescents with migraine and adults worldwide.
Where is the trial and how does it work?
Our migraine clinical trials take place at our Ilford or Swinton research facility. You’ll have regular appointments where our healthcare professional monitors your migraine attacks and overall health.
During the study, you’ll track your headache days and any side effects. This information helps researchers understand treatment efficacy and safety. Our team provides support throughout your participation in the clinical trial for migraines.
How frequent do my migraines need to be?
We’re seeking people with at least 4 migraine attacks per month. This frequency indicates significant impact on your life and suggests you could benefit from new treatments being studied.
Your migraine days should typically involve attacks lasting 4-72 hours when untreated. Whether you experience episodic migraine or more chronic patterns, you may still qualify for our migraine headache clinical trial.
Does age matter for migraine onset?
Yes, we need participants whose migraines started before age 50. This helps ensure we’re studying consistent migraine patterns in our adult migraine clinical trial research.
While we focus on adults 18 years and older, understanding how treatments work across different age groups – including research on children and adolescents – is important for developing comprehensive migraine preventive strategies.
How long must I have had migraines?
You need at least one year of established migraine history. This timeframe ensures you have a clear pattern of migraine attacks rather than occasional headaches.
One year represents many episodes and gives you experience recognising your typical symptoms, whether migraine with or without aura. This knowledge helps our healthcare professional assess how treatments affect your migraine days during the study.
