Brain function study for migraine with PFO
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is testing a device that closes a small opening in the heart (PFO) to see if it reduces migraines in people who have migraines with aura and haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 59 years old
- You have migraines with aura (like seeing flashing lights before the headache) for at least 1 year
- You get migraines on at least 4 days each month
- You have a small hole in your heart called a PFO that lets blood cross from the right to the left side
- You have already tried at least 3 different types of migraine prevention medicines and they didn't help enough or caused bad side effects

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 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 tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole in the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot passing through that hole. The goal is to see if the device can prevent another stroke.
This trial tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole between the upper chambers of the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes by blocking the hole.
This trial tests whether closing a small heart opening (called a patent foramen ovale or PFO) can reduce migraine headaches in people who have frequent migraines. You would receive a minimally invasive procedure to close the PFO and take anti-clotting medication afterward.
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.
