NCT05537818

Brief Summary

The study is designed as a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Nocira AVPI Device for the acute treatment of migraine. The study is conducted in two phases in two study groups:

  • Phase I - initial screening of device operation in both active and sham modes in-clinic and as proctored by the investigator, and
  • Phase II - for further evaluation when used in the home (non-clinical) environment.

Study Arms (3)

Group 1a Clinic Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Randomized, active or sham in-clinic treatment during a migraine, followed by open-label treatments in the home environment.

Device: AVPI Device

Group 1b Clinic & Home Treatment

OTHER

Open-label, active treatment for subjects treated in prior clinical trials for this device, followed by open-label treatments in the home environment.

Device: AVPI Device

Group 2 Home Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Randomized active or sham for first home treatment followed by open-label treatments in the home environment.

Device: AVPI Device

Interventions

The AVPI device system consists of a small, hand-held, micro-pressure pulse generator device that is operated by a hand-held mobile smartphone (iPhone®) with a downloaded software application or "app." The AVPI device is connected to an earpiece assembly that splits into two earbuds (right and left) that seat comfortably into each respective ear. 1. AVPI device for pressure regulation 2. Earpiece Assembly - a small, flexible, hollow tube that divides into right and left earpieces 3. Earbuds - replaceable, multiple sizes 4. Smartphone with the AVPI app

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • years of age, inclusive, with at least a one-year history of migraine consistent with the ICHD-3 criteria
  • Migraine onset before the age of 50 years
  • Migraine attack frequency of 2-10 attacks per month with no more than 20 headache days per month on average over the last 3 months
  • Willingness, ability, and commitment to participate in baseline and follow-up evaluations without concurrent participation in another clinical trial.
  • Signed subject informed consent form.
  • Typical untreated migraines are historically at least moderate to severe, by patient report.
  • Subjects on prophylactic migraine medication must have been on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to study entry and must remain on the same therapy with stable dosing during the study.
  • Subjects must have wireless access to the internet via mobile computing or smartphone device for audio and/or video contacts

You may not qualify if:

  • Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent.
  • Pregnancy or intent to become pregnant over the course of the study.
  • Inability to distinguish migraine from other primary headache phenotypes.
  • Presence of any condition or state that would prevent the subject from sitting or lying down comfortably during the course of the treatment (up to at least 30 minutes).
  • Unable or unlikely to follow instructions for proper use of the device including connection of the phone to a wireless connection.
  • Personal or family affiliation as a service provider - e.g., employee, contractor, consultant, or volunteer (other than as a subject in a previous clinical trial) - with a migraine treatment device company.
  • Subjects with vital sign values that are outside acceptable norms.
  • Systolic blood pressure \> 160 mmHg
  • Diastolic blood pressure \> 100mmHg
  • Resting heart rate \>100 beats per minute
  • Temperature \> 100.5°F
  • History of significant vestibular, auditory or external ear diagnoses or symptoms, including but not limited to Meniere's disease; endolymphatic hydrops; complete loss of hearing in either ear, significant hearing loss in either ear that requires a hearing aid or has deteriorated noticeably over the past year; previous ear surgery (including tympanostomy tubes); superior canal dehiscence, current or ongoing dizziness or vertigo, perforated or compromised tympanic membrane, external auditory canal obstruction which cannot be removed prior to treatment
  • Current diagnosis or significant prior diagnosis of secondary headache (except MOH headache), cerebral aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, brain tumor, chiari malformation, or currently active occipital neuralgia that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with study-related assessments.
  • Recent or current diagnoses of post-concussion syndrome, significant head trauma, substance abuse, addiction, syncope, or epilepsy, that in that the investigator's opinion would interfere in the assessments.
  • Another significant pain disorder that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with study-related assessments.
  • +22 more criteria
