Amiloride to prevent migraine aura episodes
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether amiloride can reduce how often migraine aura happens. It’s a proof-of-concept early study, meaning the main goal is to see if the approach seems to work and is safe for people with frequent aura.
