Migraine and PFO: A Follow-up Study
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is for people who have migraines and a small hole in their heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It will track your health over time to learn more about how these conditions are related.

This study looks at the detailed flow pattern through a patent foramen ovale (PFO)—a small opening in the heart—and how it may relate to stroke, TIA, or migraine. Doctors use special ultrasound testing with contrast to better understand who is most affected.
This trial compares two types of devices (biodegradable vs. metal) to close a small hole in the heart (PFO) in people who have migraine not controlled by usual treatments. It aims to see which device works better to reduce migraine attacks.
This trial studies whether a Cera™ device is safe and effective for closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small hole in the heart. It is for adults whose PFO is linked to certain types of stroke or ongoing clot-related events.
This trial tests whether closing a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) can help eliminate migraines. If you have frequent migraines and no other major health issues, this procedure might reduce or stop your headaches.
This trial tests if closing a common heart defect (PFO) can improve migraine symptoms and brain function. It compares people with migraine who get the closure procedure to those without migraine.
This study looks at how migraine with aura affects brain function in people who also have a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It may help doctors understand if closing the PFO could improve migraine symptoms.
