Brief Summary

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

New daily persistent headache is a debilitating syndrome which is seldom researched, poorly understood, and without effective treatments. Chronic migraine is a more common but similarly disabling disorder. The goal of this study is to evaluate the blood levels of two proteins involved with pain signaling; calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nerve growth factor (NGF).

CGRP levels are known to be elevated in chronic migraine, and recent phase 2 clinical trials suggest that treatments targeting CGRP are safe and effective for treatments for migraine. If CGRP levels are elevated in the blood of people with new daily persistent headache, future studies will be designed to evaluate whether treatments that target CGRP are effective in treating new daily persistent headache. If NGF levels are elevated in the blood of patients with new daily persistent headache and/or chronic migraine, future studies will be designed to evaluate whether treatments that target NGF antibodies (targeted treatments against NGF) are effective in treating NDPH and/or chronic migraine.

Study Groups

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

New Daily Persistent Headache

This cohort will consist of participants diagnosed with New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH). New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a primary headache syndrome which can mimic chronic migraine and chronic tension-type headache. The headache is daily and unremitting from very soon after onset (within 3 days at most), usually in a person who does not have a history of a primary headache disorder.

Protein levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nerve growth factor (NGF) will be measured in this cohort.

No interventions assigned to this group

Chronic Migraine

This cohort will consist of participants diagnosed with chronic migraine. Chronic migraine is defined as headache occurring on 15 or more days per month for more than three months, which, on at least 8 days per month, has the features of migraine headache. Chronic migraine occurs in approximately 1% of the population. Studies estimate that about 2.5% of people with episodic migraine will transition to chronic migraine each year.

Protein levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nerve growth factor (NGF) will be measured in this cohort.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy Volunteers

This cohort will consist of healthy volunteers who have not been diagnosed with either NDPH or chronic migraine.

Protein levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nerve growth factor (NGF) will be measured in this cohort.

No interventions assigned to this group
