研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of the study is to investigate if the use of gammaCore Sapphire™ device reduces the number of migraines preventatively.
详细描述
The study is a prospective randomized, multi-center, double-blind, parallel, sham-controlled study, designed for comparison of two parallel groups, gammaCore®-Sapphire (active treatment) and a sham (inactive) treatment.
The study period will begin with a four-week run-in period, during which there is no investigational treatment. The purpose of the run-in period will be to establish a baseline of the subject's headache/migraine history for longitudinal comparison.
The run-in period will be followed by a 12-week randomized period when the subjects will be randomized (1:1) to either active treatment or sham (inactive) treatment.
Subjects will dose themselves 3 times per day for 12 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Safety and effectiveness of gammaCore Sapphire as a treatment for the prevention of a migraine during the double-blind period measured by Incidence of Unexpected Adverse Events.
时间窗: 12 weeks
The primary outcome measurement for effectiveness is the difference between the active and sham treatment groups in the mean reduction in number of migraine days during the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind period (versus during the 4-week run-in period).
次要结局
- Mean reduction in the number of headache days(Last 4 weeks of the 12 week double-blind)
- Mean reduction in days on which acute migraine medication(Last 4 weeks of the 12 week double-blind)
- Responder rate in the nVNS group compared to the sham group(Last 4 weeks of the 12 week double-blind)
