Active clinical trials for "Headache"

Lumbar punctures are implemented for the diagnosis of patients with hematologic symptoms as well as for the intrathecal chemotherapy injections. Post lumbar puncture headache is a common complication for patients and is characterized by the occurrence of a headache with an orthostatic component, with additional symptoms such as nausea. Some studies in neurology, anesthesia and gynecology have previously shown a decreased incidence for post lumbar puncture headache while using atraumatic needles as compared to standard needles. In this context, it is necessary to better document the incidence of post lumbar puncture headache with the use of atraumatic needles in hematologic patients.

The investigators prospectively want to use the Infrascanner in patients with ischemic stroke, patients with brain surgery, patients with brain tumors, patients with intracranial hemorrhage and patients with a normal CT scan of the brain as part of a diagnostic work-up after head trauma or headache to determine to positive and negative predictive value of the Infrascanner in these different settings.

The addition of clopidogrel on top of aspirin may reduce the occurrence of new-onset migraine headache episodes following transcatheter ASD closure.

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-dilated retinal photography in the emergency room improves the diagnosis of papilledema (optic nerve swelling) in patients with neurologic disease compared to direct ophthalmoscopy.

The study will enroll patients through the Neurology Department at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD). Eligible participants will meet criteria for chronic migraine, but will not be excluded based on the presence of significant comorbidities. Participants with comorbidities and medication regimens commonly exhibited within real-world DOD medical settings will not be excluded, such as pain disorders, psychiatric illness, medication overuse, and those who have used prophylactic medication during the baseline period. This will comprise "Group A". A carefully screened group will comprise "Group B" and meet exclusion criteria designed to approximate that of the PREEMPT2 trial. Within each group, half of the patients (155U Arm) will be randomly selected to receive the standard 155U over 31 fixed sites every 12 weeks while the other half (100U Arm) will receive 100U over 19 fixed sites every 12 weeks. Minimum sample size for the entire cohort is 132 participants (maximum n = 180), with a minimum of 66 participants per comparison.

This is a prospective study for abdominal myomectomies performed from June 2012 to June 2019 by a single surgeon in a tertiary care referral hospital. Large uterine myoma was defined as the estimated diameter of dominant myoma equal to or larger than 10 cm by sonography. Demographics, diagnosis, perioperative variables, operative outcomes and complications were recorded. The Intraoperative anesthetic management, blood and blood products transfusion, and total volume of blood loss, as well as postoperative follow-up, were reviewed for each patient.

The aim of the present study is to investigate whether women taking a new combined oral contraceptive pill (SH T00658ID, estradiol valerate/dienogest) experience fewer hormone withdrawal-associated symptoms such as pelvic pain or headache during their monthly cycle compared to a commonly used contraceptive pill (Microgynon).

The researchers will carry out a randomized experimental study. Participants in the experimental group will receive a treatment based on suboccipital inhibition technique in addition to conventional treatment. Participants in the control group will only receive the conventional treatment. The existence of significant differences in both groups will be analyzed.

Migraine is a primary headache attack, specific, paroxysmal, with or without aura, with subjective manifestations both before and after the attack, a chronic type of headache with symptoms of recurrence, attacks at productive age and can cause a decrease in work productivity up to 80%, so that it will affect the quality of life, economic life and education globally which leads to losses for migraine sufferers and institutions where migraine sufferers attend school, work and in the lives of sufferers' families.
