Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Avulux device in reducing the impact of migraine headaches as measured by improvement in Headache Impact Test (HIT-6TM) scores at three weeks when compared to a control/sham device.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Avulux™ is intended to decrease the impact of headache and migraine on normal daily life and the ability to function, and reduce the frequency and severity of headache, in adult patients diagnosed with episodic migraine headache or chronic migraine.

Avulux™ consists of a pair of optical filters in the form of spectacle lenses, provided in standard spectacle frames or as clip-on units, coated with a thin film that effectively blocks light at specified wavelength ranges while minimizing distortion of the visible spectrum. The optical filters block a portion of the optical spectrum that is suspected to stimulate photophobic responses that trigger some, and exacerbate most, migraines.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

A total of 50 subjects will be randomized into one of two treatment groups in a one-to-one ratio. After three weeks, and following a one-week washout period, subjects will be given spectacles from the other treatment group
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators
The active and sham lenses will have tints calibrated such that the optical density, that is the overall "darkness" of all study lenses, will be the same. All study lenses will appear to have the same overall light-blocking effect to study subjects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Avulux Spectacles

Subjects will be instructed to use the spectacles for three weeks. They will be instructed to put the spectacles on at the first signs or symptoms of their migraine attacks. This could be their usual aura, or the first signs of their headache commencing, and to keep the spectacles on until their headache has resolved.
