Summary

Vestibular migraine (VM) has been recognized a distinct subtype of migraine that causes dizziness as the predominant symptom. Criteria for diagnosis have been adopted by the Barany Society. Previous epidemiological research from the investigators has shown that VM affects 2.7% of the adult population of the United States. Yet, despite its high prevalence, there is very little data upon which to guide treatment decisions. A Cochrane review in 2015 concluded that there were no placebo controlled trials in VM, and none have been done since then. The investigators recently developed and validated a patient reported outcome tool for VM called VM-PATHI (VM- Patient Assessment Tool and Handicap Inventory). Anecdotal evidence suggests that CGRP antagonists, such as Galcanezumab, may be effective in reducing or eliminating symptoms in VM. Therefore, the investigators propose a pilot study of changes in VM-PATHI scores, comparing active treatment (Galcanezumab) to placebo arms.

Conditions

  • Vestibular Migraine

Interventions

DRUG

Galcanezumab Prefilled Syringe

Galcanezumab will be supplied in preloaded syringes, each with a dose of 120 mg. Participants will first receive the first month's supply (240 mg) at study visit 2, and then will receive a two month supply at study visit 3. So, at study visit 2 and 3, each participant will get two pre-filled syringes.

DRUG

Placebo

Placebo will be supplied in preloaded syringes, each with a dose of 120 mg. Participants will first receive the first month's supply (240 mg) at study visit 2, and then will receive a two month supply at study visit 3. So, at study visit 2 and 3, each participant will get two pre-filled syringes.
