Active clinical trials for "Headache"

The investigators will perform a cluster randomised controlled study of Brief intervention (BI) for medication-overuse headache (MOH) versus business as usual. GPs will be trained to perform a structured brief intervention after identifying patients with probable MOH using the severity of dependence scale. The control arm will include patients of GPs who have not been trained in BI. Patients will be recruited by prior short postal screening of patients listed on the GPs patient lists. The hypothesis is that BI will lead to improvement of medication-overuse and chronic headache as compared to no BI. Main outcomes are: number of medication days per month number of headache days per month headache index

The objective of this study is evaluated if the Botulinum Toxin Type A is superior to 0,9% saline in treatment of cranial Allodynia in patients with headache. Hypothesis H(0): Botulinum Toxin Type A is not superior to 0,9% saline in treatment of cranial Allodynia in patients with headache H (1): Botulinum Toxin Type A is superior to 0,9% saline in treatment of cranial Allodynia in patients with headache

This study investigates whether acupuncture can help to decrease the number and severity of headaches in people who have Traumatic Brain Injury. The aim of this study is to compare two different types of acupuncture-either Traditional Chinese Acupuncture or ear acupuncture-to a group that receives no acupuncture at all. Acupuncture has been demonstrated to reduce pain, improve health-related quality of life, prevent migraine headaches, and improve tension and chronic daily headaches.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if Zomig® Nasal Spray will help children (age 12-17 years) with migraine headaches feel better. This will be done by comparing 3 different doses of Zomig Nasal Spray with placebo nasal spray (inactive treatment).

This study will compare the ability of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to relieve pain compared to placebo and standard ibuprofen in the treatment of episodic tension-type headache.

The object of this research study is to test a standardized set of acupuncture points on migraine patients to reduce frequency and intensity of headaches. Acupuncture has been studied in prior research but the treatment points have varied between subjects, making it difficult to replicate studies.

There are a variety of treatment approaches used by the chiropractic profession. Some of these require forceful joint manipulation and some do not. This study is designed to compare outcomes of two such techniques that are common to chiropractic practice. The hypothesis is that there is no difference between forceful and non-forceful approaches to treatment.

Control group will receive US, TENS, IR and exercises. The treatment group will receive the same program in addition to shock waves therapy. Patients will receive 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.

Approximately 9% of men and 18% of women suffer from migraine headaches. Almost all migraine sufferers report light sensitivity during a headache. Some people with migraine report that light can trigger their migraines and some people with migraine are light sensitive all of the time. The investigators have recently determined that certain colors of light are more likely to trigger migraines than other colors. In this study the investigators want to know if people who wear glasses that block these colors of light will have fewer migraine headaches.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a therapeutic and global protocol to relieve cephalalgia is helpful in the emergency department of Grenoble University Hospital.
