Immune cells and migraines study
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Pain, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain immune cells and inflammatory chemicals relate to migraines. If you have migraines or an autoimmune condition (like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn's disease), you may be able to participate. The goal is to understand what causes migraines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 50 years old
- You weigh at least 110 pounds
- You have either migraines (at least 4 headache days per month) or an autoimmune disease (such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, type 1 diabetes, or endometriosis)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or going through menopause
- You do not have type 2 diabetes, another autoimmune disease, or a history of organ transplant

This study looks at how migraine and endometriosis are connected. If you have both conditions, you may be able to join and help researchers understand more about them.
This study looks at the link between endometriosis and migraine. Researchers want to understand how these conditions affect each other, so they need people with endometriosis, migraine, or both, as well as healthy volunteers without chronic pain.
This study looks at whether a natural substance called amylin can trigger migraine attacks in people who get migraines without aura. If you join, you'll receive an infusion and be monitored to see if you get a migraine, which could help researchers understand migraine causes.
This research study collects samples and information from people with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma, plus healthy volunteers, to better understand how the immune system works in these conditions. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to find new ways to treat and manage autoimmune diseases.
This study measures blood “biomarkers” (signals in blood) to better understand inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. You may be asked to give blood samples now and possibly extra samples if needed for testing.
This study looks at blood “biomarkers,” or measurable body signals, in people with autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, or autoinflammatory conditions. The goal is to better understand these illnesses and how they relate to disease activity.
