Brief Summary:
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) (a hole in the heart), using the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder, on the incidence of migraine headaches.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Migraine Headaches Patent Foramen Ovale Other: Sham Procedure Device: AMPLATZER PFO Occluder Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether percutaneous PFO closure is effective in reducing the incidence of disabling migraine headaches in patients who are refactory to medical treatment.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Sham Comparator: Medical Management
Will not receive the closure device, and will be treated with the current standard of care medical treatment. Will undergo Intracardiac Echo (ICE) in cardiac catheterization lab and simulate PFO closure procedure (sham procedure).
Other: Sham Procedure
Will not receive the closure device, and will be treated with the current standard of care medical treatment. Will undergo Intracardiac Echo (ICE) in cardiac catheterization lab and simulate PFO closure procedure (sham procedure). Participants completing 1 year follow-up are eligible for PFO closure with the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder.

Experimental: PFO Closure
Will undergo Intracardiac Echo (ICE) in cardiac catheterization lab and undergo PFO device closure procedure with the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder.
Device: AMPLATZER PFO Occluder
Patients in this arm will receive the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder device




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Primary Efficacy Endpoint - Percentage of Subjects With a 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Monthly Number of Migraine Attacks at 12 Months. [ Time Frame: Baseline and months 10-12 ]
    A 50% reduction from the monthly number of migraine attacks during the 60-day baseline phase to the monthly number of migraine attacks during month ten through the twelfth month in the treatment phase (device group versus sham group).

  2. Primary Safety Endpoint - Device Related Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [ Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months ]

    Number of subjects who experience a device-related major adverse event (DRMAE) through 12-months of follow-up.

    This endpoint was analyzed using an as-treated cohort that consists of all enrolled subjects who received the device (randomized and Optional PFO Closure group) and who had follow-up sufficient to adequately assess the DRMAE rate.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Mean Migraine Days/Month [ Time Frame: Baseline and months 10-12 ]
    Change in the number of migraine days is calculated by the difference in the mean number of migraine days between the baseline assessment period and the treatment phase (months 10-12 post-procedure) for the respective randomization groups.

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Successful PFO Closure at 12-months [ Time Frame: Baseline and month 12 ]
    Successful Closure by Core Lab Adjudicated Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Grade <= 2

  3. Change in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Score From Baseline to 12-months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The MIDAS questionnaire measure the impact of headaches on daily living. A total score of 0-5 equals little to no disability, 6-10 equals mild disability, 11-20 equals moderate disability, and a score 21 or greater equals severe disability. The maximum possible score is 276.

  4. Incidence of a 75% Reduction in Migraine Headache Attacks [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  5. Procedural Success [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Procedural success is calculated by the percent of device group subjects who were implanted with the study device and experienced no serious device or procedure-related adverse events.

  6. Long-Term Success [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Percent of PFO closure group subjects who were implanted with the study device, experienced no serious device or procedure-related adverse events and have a core-lab adjudicated TCD Grade at Valsalva ≤ 2 at 1-year.

  7. Incidence of All Adverse Events at 12-months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  8. Incidence of Device-related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  9. Incidence of a 95% Reduction in Migraine Headache Attacks [ Time Frame: 12-months ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Scale [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    The difference in BDI between baseline and 12-months for the respective randomization groups. The highest possible score of the BDI is 63, which represents extreme depression. The lowest possible score is 0, which represents no depression.
