Overview
Brief Summary
Migraine attack is an episodic disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population. Previous studies have shown that 41-48% of migraineur have a combination of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Clinical observational studies have been linking medication therapies which include anticoagulation and anti-platelet therapy with the effectiveness in improving migraine symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks in patients combined with a PFO. However, it has been unclear whether the effectiveness of anticoagulation or anti-platelet therapy outweigh the conventional migraine medication therapy, as a result, we designed a multi-center randomized clinical trial aiming to examine the effectiveness of anticoagulation versus anti-platelet versus migraine medication therapy in migraine patients with PFO and provide a clinical guidance for migraineur.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Participants must meet all of the following criteria:
- •Aged 18 to 64 years at Visit
- •Diagnosis of migraine with or without aura confirmed by a neurologist, according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3) criteria.
- •History of migraine for more than 1 year, with an average of at least 4 migraine days per month during the 12-week screening period, as recorded in a headache diary and confirmed by the investigator at Visit
- •Patent foramen ovale (PFO) diagnosed by transcranial Doppler (TCD), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), with a right-to-left shunt at the atrial level.
- •Provision of written informed consent and willingness to comply with follow-up procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participants will be excluded if any of the following apply:
- •Secondary headache attributable to other causes.
- •History of transient ischemic attack, stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage.
- •History of pacemaker implantation, atrial septal defect closure, or left atrial appendage closure.
- •Right-to-left intracardiac shunt due to causes other than PFO.
- •Contraindications to antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy, including thrombocytopenia, major trauma, active bleeding, decompensated cirrhosis, or drug allergy.
- •Contraindications to beta-blocker therapy, including hypotension, severe bradycardia, atrioventricular block, asthma, or drug allergy.
- •Poorly controlled atrial fibrillation at Visit
- •Poorly controlled hypertension at Visit 1, defined as blood pressure \>160/90 mmHg despite regular medication.
- •Inability to maintain a headache diary or to reliably report headache symptoms.
