Summary

This large observational study will follow over 2,000 adults with migraine in Italy for two years. Researchers will collect data on symptoms, treatments, and healthcare use to better understand how migraine evolves and how patients are managed. The goal is to improve diagnosis and care pathways for people with episodic and chronic migraine.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could reveal better ways to diagnose and treat migraine, improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test new therapies. Results depend on accurate patient reporting and may not apply outside Italy.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The reference population for the registry IGRAINE includes adult patients of both sexes, suffering from episodic or chronic migraine, undergoing treatment at a specialized headache center. At the time of its launch, 46 headache centers distributed throughout Italy will participate in the registry. To ensure its representativeness, the study sample includes 10% of the total number of patients followed at the centers, selected randomly. The registry will be enrolled using the "systematic random" method. Participation in the study will be offered to the first patient at the first visit (incident patient) and to the first patient at the follow-up visit (prevalent patient) of each outpatient day at the clinical center. If the first patient in each category refuses, participation in the study will be offered to the next patient in order of visit in the same category (prevalent or incident). Researchers are advised NOT to skip patients so as not to create a selection bias in the population.
