Brief Summary

Migraine attacks are episodic disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population, and studies have shown that 41-48% of migraineurs have a combination of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Clinical Observational studies have been linking PFO occlusion with the effectiveness in improving migraine symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks. However, several RCTs have shown negative primary results, making it unclear whether PFO occlusion is effective in treating migraine. Our study is a multi-center cohort study aiming to find the correlation between PFO closure and migraine attacks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Responder rate

    Defined as a 50% reduction from the monthly number of migraine attacks during the baseline phase to the monthly number of migraine attacks during the treatment phase.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Migraine days change per month

    From baseline period to 12-month treatment period

  • Number of migraine attacks change per month
