Registry of Right-to-left Shunt Detection by Contrast-enhanced Transcranial Doppler in Chinese Population

Completed
Conditions
Migraine
Cerebral Infarction
Right-to-left Shunt
Registration Number
NCT02425696
Lead Sponsor
Yingqi Xing
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence and extent of right-to-left shunt (RLS) in Chinese migraineurs, and the morbidity of silent cerebral infarction in migraineurs.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective multicenter study of Chinese population. Participants (normal individuals without migraine and migraineurs) are included after standardized diagnostic procedures (TCD and c-TCD). For migraineurs with large RLS further examinations (c-TTE and brain MRI) are required. Up to 10 study sites nationwide will be needed to recruit the planned participant population during a 1-year period.

The information of each participants will be registered, including basic facts, the longitudinal headache history, frequency, location, quality, intensity, duration, accompanied symptoms, precipitating and exacerbating factors, with or without aura, MIDAS and HIT-6 questionnaire.
