Brief summary
Migraine attack is an episodic disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population. Previous studies have shown that 41-48% of migraineur have a combination of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Clinical observational studies have been linking medication therapies which include anticoagulation and anti-platelet therapy with the effectiveness in improving migraine symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks in patients combined with a PFO. However, it has been unclear whether the effectiveness of anticoagulation or anti-platelet therapy outweigh the conventional migraine medication therapy, as a result, we designed a multi-center randomized clinical trial aiming to examine the effectiveness of anticoagulation versus anti-platelet versus migraine medication therapy in migraine patients with PFO and provide a clinical guidance for migraineur.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Responder rate | From baseline period to 3-month treatment period | Defined as a 50% reduction from the monthly number of migraine attacks during the baseline phase to the monthly number of migraine attacks during the treatment phase. |
| Treatment safety | From baseline period to 3-month treatment period | Adverse events after medication treatment |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Migraine days change per month | From baseline period to 3-month treatment period | Change in the mean number of migraine days from baseline to treatment phase. |
| Number of migraine attacks change per month | From baseline period to 3-month treatment period | Change in the mean number of migraine attacks from baseline to treatment phase. |
| Percentage of migraine change | From baseline period to 3-month treatment period | Participants experienced 75%, or greater reduction in migraine headache attacks during treatment phase as compared to baseline phase. |
