Active clinical trials for "Headache"

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique In pain intensity, frequency of headache, medication Uptake, Suboccipital movement in flexion and extension, rounded shoulder, forward head posture and proprioception of cervical spine in cases of cervicogenic headache related to trigger points and myofascial restrictions when combined with conventional physical therapy modalities.

The aim is to investigate whether signaling molecule PACAP-38 induces headache with migraine-like features in people with persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and feasibility of coiling the lumbar vein for the treatment of chronic headaches in patients with Nutcracker physiology and retrograde lumbar vein flow with epidural venous plexus congestion. All patients are extensively evaluated by a headache trained Neurologist confirming high pressure headache refractory to other treatments.

To detect the Clinical efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency treatment targeting the mid cervical medial branches versus greater occipital nerve for cervicogenic headache

Purpose: to explore headache characteristics and treatment effects of patient with new daily persistent headache (NDPH) through an online survey. Research design: Online survey of patients with new daily persistent headache. Risks: Risks include a breach of confidentiality as well as fatigue from taking the survey online. Importance of knowledge that may recently be expected to result: The study aims to discover new information in a very understudied disease. This information could, in future studies, help change the diagnostic criteria or lead to new treatment options.

In the Chinese Headache and Vertigo Registration Study, patients aged 4-99 years with headache (primary headache and secondary headache such as migraine and tension type headache), vertigo (vertigo diseases such as vestibular migraine) and chronic pain (fibromyalgia and other diseases) were collected. The biomarkers, imaging features, right-to-left shunt of the heart (lung), genetic characteristics, treatment, and outcome (in relation to other diseases) of headache-related diseases were studied, and long-term follow-up was planned.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of erenumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.

This project aims to validate a dosimetry model for photobiomodulation treatment in patients with orofacial pain and tension-type headache symptoms. The study will involve 240 participants divided into four age groups. Different treatment approaches will be applied, including local photobiomodulation and systemic laser therapy. Various physiological measurements will be taken before, during, and after the treatments, including skin type, weight, height, blood pressure, and heart rate. Additionally, data from questionnaires on pain and headache symptoms will be analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation will be employed to validate the model based on these measurements and light transmission. The research addresses the need for effective pain management strategies in cases where medication-based treatments may have unwanted side effects.

The goal of this pilot randomized control trial is to assess the feasibility of our patient recruitment and data collection strategy ahead of a full scale RCT investigating the efficacy of oral v. parenteral medications in the management of acute migraine headaches in the emergency department. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either (A) standard medical therapy for the treatment of acute migraine headache (metoclopramide and ketorolac IV) and oral placebo or (B) oral metoclopramide and ibuprofen with normal saline IV. Primary outcome measures are recruitment rate and improvement in pain score at 60 minutes from medication administration.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of TMJ directed treatment approach using the Rocabado 6x6 program in patients with cervicogenic headache on the intensity of headache, function of the neck, and quality of life and compare its effectiveness with headache SNAGs which have been proven very effective in treatment of cervicogenic headache.
