About

Canvert-M (manufactured by Alasht Pharmed Co. Iran) is a topical roll-on formulation that contains cannabidiol, peppermint, lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, wintergreen, basil oil, etc. This phase IV, single-arm, open-label clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Canvert-M in males and females aged 18 to 55 years diagnosed with migraine according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3), for the treatment of migraine attacks.

The primary objective was to assess the reduction in headache intensity using a 4-point scale (0=no headache, 1=mild headache, 2=moderate headache, 3=severe headache).

Secondary objectives included evaluating additional efficacy and safety outcomes of Canvert-M in managing migraine attacks.

Full description

In this study, participants are asked to:

• Apply an adequate amount of Canvert-M roll-on to the areas of the forehead, temporal, behind the ears, and base of the neck, at the onset of a migraine attack. (If the participant's headache persists after 30 minutes, a second dose can be used.)
• Record the date when the headache occurred.
• Record the severity of the headache at various time points (before using Canvert-M, and then at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours after using the Canvert-M roll-on) based on the 4-point scale.
• As much as possible, avoid using any other analgesics for two hours after applying Canvert-M. However, if the headache persists after two hours, the participant may use another medication and should record the name(s) of the drug(s) taken.
• Record a general evaluation of the effectiveness of the investigational product using a simple Likert-type verbal scale.
