Title: Zomig Nasal Clinical Study
Post by catlind on Mar 16^th, 2004, 11:25am

Dear CH'ers,

There is a study moving forward regarding zomig nasal spray in the use of cluster headaches. Please read the post on the OUCH site for information and details on how to be a participant. This is what OUCH US can do best, supply the patients that suffer to help the doctors and researchers find better more effective medications while we walk the slow road to a cure.

Just got back from the doctors. Asked if he had any Zomig Nasals in the goody closet. 'You betcha!'

Brought a few home with me. Looking forward to trying them out.

Please read the following before asking your doc for the Zomig nasal spray:

Bill, and everyone else:

PLEASE TAKE NOTE this trial is for the drug Zomig Nasal, and yes it's on the market and is fully approved for use in Migraines like Tracey said.

Zomig Nasal is NOT currently labelled by the FDA as an approved medication for cluster headaches.

Currently the only triptan labeled for CH use is Imitrex, made by Glaxo. In order for Zomig to get FDA labelling for cluster headaches they have to perform a clinical study for the effectiveness of it in the use on clusters.

If you have already used Zomig Nasal for your clusters you will not be allowed to participate in the trial (that's my understanding) so if you want to participate and help get this med labelled for CH use specifically, then do not ask your neuro or doc for it before calling the center and finding out if you qualify to participate.

This study is specifically to find out the effectiveness of Zomig Nasal in the use for cluster headaches. Whether they know how effective it is or not, they have to have the study to back it up in order to get the FDA to label it for use specifically on clusters.

If you want to see further studies done on other medications, or on new medications, now is
the time to make that call. If the NECH and other centers get a good response this will help to pave the way for future studies - it will let them know that OUCH can produce the bodies they need.
