Scientific titleSeptal closure of patent foramen ovale: does it prevent migraine?
Study acronymSTOP PAIN
Study objectivesThe primary objective of the study ”STOP PAIN” is to compare the effect on migraine attack frequency of transcatheter device closure of atrial shunting with a non-closure group in migraine patients suffering severe migraine with aura.
Ethics approval(s)Approval pending from the LUMC ethics committee.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMigraine, foramen ovale persistens, closure
InterventionIn migraine patients with aura who have a patent foramen ovale, transcatheter device closure PFO after randomisation will be performed, versus a sham procedure.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureNumber of patients experiencing 50% reduction of migraine in closure group compared with sham group.

Outcomes will be measured monthly from three to nine months after closure.
Secondary outcome measures1. Mean values of monthly migraine periods
2. Quality of Life (QoL) using headache impact test questionaire

Outcomes will be measured monthly from three to nine months after closure.
