Active clinical trials for "Post-Traumatic Headache"

the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Dry Needling Versus Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization In the Patient With Cervicogenic Treatment Headache

This project comprises two studies; a cross-sectional study and a randomized controlled trial. The goal of the cross-sectional study is to compare multiple outcome parameters in different headache types: tension type (TTH), cervicogenic (CGH) and myofascial headache (MFH) as drafted by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD). Not only will these types be compared against each other, they will also be compared to healthy controls (HC). The main research questions are: Are the criteria drafted by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) discriminative for MFH? Are there differences between the headache types (and healthy controls) in pain & disability scores, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, muscle elasticity and hyperalgesia (=pain pressure treshold, PPT)? Participants will : Fill out questionnaires about pain and disability; Be clinically investigated by a physiotherapist (anamnesis, inspection, examination of movement and structures of the neck and head); Undergo a testing battery including neck ROM, neck muscle strength & elasticity and PPT measurement of the C2 processus spinosus and the bilateral upper trapezius muscle. The goal of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the additional effect of dry needling in the treatment of MFH patients, as compared to a treatment consisting of manual techniques only. The main question it aims to answer is: Does manual therapy combined with dry needling provide an additional effect on pain, disability and functional outcomes in MFH patients, as compared to manual therapy alone? After the baseline test (see part 1), participants with MFH will be randomly divided to receive 4 sessions over 4 weeks of MT or MT + DN. Hereafter, the baseline test is repeated at 1 week and 3 months post-treatment. In this study, people with tension type headache (TTH), cervicogenic headache (CGH),myofascial headache (MFH) and healthy controls (HC) will be compared on levels of pain & disability, range of motion (ROM) of the neck, hyperalgesia of the neck (pain pressure treshold, PPT), neck muscle strength and neck muscle elasticity.

The purposes of this study are: To investigate the combined effect of cranial and cervical mobilization in patient with cervicogenic headache and there effect on : Perceptive neck pain intensity Perceptive headache intensity pain by pressure frequency of headache episodes duration of headache episodes Medications uptakes

The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of cognitive dysfunction in patients with cervicogenic headache. participants will be asked questions to determine their cognitive status at once.

It is unknown if applying superficial dry needling to the trigeminal innervation field improves pain and disability for patients with cervicogenic headaches. The aim of this study is to determine if superficial dry needling of the trigeminal innervation field improves pain, neck mobility, and disability in patients with cervicogenic headaches. It will also be examined if psychosocial factors such as stress, anxiety, depression and self efficacy influence improvements in pain, range of motion and neck disability.

The study will investigate the effect of pharmacological preventive treatment, education, physiotherapy and psychological counselling on the headache and associated symptoms in patients refered to the Danish Headache Center

To investigate whether sildenafil (phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor) induces migraine-like headache in people with persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Primary Objective The primary objective of the study is to assess whether transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block using the device TX360 reduces intensity and severity of the Post-Traumatic Headache in adolescents. Secondary Objectives The study will also evaluate: Quality of life (QoL) Intensity of the headache Physical function Sleep quality Role function (measured by PEDMIDAS) Adverse events

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).
