Comparison of the Effect of Medication Therapy in Alleviating Migraine With Patent Foramen Ovale (COMPETE)

January 9, 2023 updated by: Pan Xiangbin, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital

COMParison of the EffecT of mEdication Therapy: Anticoagulation Versus Anti-platelet Versus Migraine Therapy in Alleviating Migraine With Patent Foramen Ovale

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.
