Oral Contraceptive Pill Compared With Vitamin E in Women With Migraine (WHATT)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Open-label randomized controlled trial to study the efficacy of continuous daily use of ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel (30/150 µg/day) compared with vitamin E (400 IU/day) in the treatment of women with menstrually-related and perimenopausal migraine.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Migraine Migraine;Menstrual Drug: Ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel Drug: Vitamin E Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Rationale: The prevalence of migraine is three times higher in women than in men. Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest a prominent role for sex hormones in female migraine patients. Menstruation is an important factor increasing the susceptibility for an upcoming attack. Perimenstrual migraine attacks are also more disabling, longer lasting, and more difficult to treat than other attacks. Hormonal fluctuations during menopausal transition are associated with increased susceptibility for migraine as well, whereas hormonal changes in migraine during pregnancy seem to be associated with decreased attack frequency. Thus, sex hormonal conditions seem to affect the susceptibility for migraine attacks in women, but there is a lack of understanding the underlying pathophysiological mechanism. Currently, there is no clear evidence-based hormonal intervention for the treatment of migraine in women. The investigators hypothesize that continuous daily use of an oral contraceptive pill will be an effective, well-tolerated preventive treatment for 1) menstrually-related migraine and 2) perimenopausal migraine.

Objective: To study the efficacy of continuous daily use of ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel (30/150 µg/day) compared with vitamin E (400 IU/day) in the treatment of menstrually-related and perimenopausal migraine.

Study design: Open-label randomized controlled trial. Study population: Women with menstrually-related or pure menstrual migraine and women with perimenopausal migraine.

Intervention: Continuous daily use of ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel (30/150 µg/day) compared with vitamin E (400 IU/day).

Primary endpoint: Change in monthly migraine days from baseline to the last 4 weeks of treatment (weeks 9-12).

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The study will encompass a period of 4 months (1 baseline month and 3 treatment months). Patients have to fill out daily headache diaries throughout the study using a web-based app (≈ 5 min). Patients visit the headache clinic thrice, once for inclusion, once during the baseline period and once after 3 months of therapy (duration ≈ 1 hour). During the first and last visit blood samples will be taken. Patients will be contacted twice during follow-up to evaluate (S)AE's. Treatment with the oral contraceptive pill is accompanied by a very low risk of developing thromboembolisms. Participation might benefit participants by reducing their migraine attack frequency or intensity.
