Idebenone to prevent episodic migraine attacks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests idebenone, a preventive medicine, to see if it can reduce how often migraine attacks happen. It mainly focuses on people with episodic migraine who have regular attacks and are not already using other migraine prevention treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
