Volunteers wanted for new migraine prevention study
Posted 10/06/09
The City of London Migraine Clinic is looking for people with migraine to test a new medication for the prevention of migraine attacks. The new medication may interrupt the transmission of nerve impulses along the pain pathway which could stop the onset of migraine attacks.
You will be asked to take the study tablets daily. You may be able to continue your usual treatments. The study will last for around 4 months and you will need to visit us at 1-4 weekly intervals for a total of 7 visits.
Travel expenses are available. If you would like to take part you will need to have kept a migraine diary for at least a month prior to participating. Diaries can be obtained from the City of London Migraine Clinic's website at www.migraineclinic.org.uk.
