ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating the use of migraine medications to treat Meniere's disease, a condition that causes troubling symptoms like vertigo (a spinning sensation), hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and feelings of fullness in the ear. These symptoms can be very distressing and affect daily life significantly. Since there are currently no approved medications specifically for Meniere's disease, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of these migraine treatments based on promising results seen in earlier practices.
To participate in this study, individuals must be between 25 and 85 years old and have frequent symptoms of Meniere's disease. Participants need to be able to understand and sign consent forms in English and should be willing to follow the treatment plan and attend study visits. However, individuals who are pregnant, have had surgery for Meniere's disease, or have certain medical conditions may not be eligible to join. Those who take part can expect to receive one of the migraine medications and will be closely monitored throughout the trial to see how well it helps their Meniere's symptoms.
