Active clinical trials for "Cluster Headache"

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of SPG stimulation with the ATI Neurostimulation System when used to treat acute cluster attacks in chronic cluster headache patients.

The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of zolmitriptan by Sublingual administration for the acute treatment of Cluster headache.

This study's hypothesis is the 4mg StatDose sumatriptan is effective for the acute treatment of cluster headache and provides good safety and tolerability across multiple doses of the study medication as well as across multiple attacks of cluster headache. This study seeks to determine the safety and efficacy of the commercially available 4mg StatDose formulation of sumatriptan as an acute treatment of cluster headache. Patients are allowed to use repeated dose of the study medication for a given headache if they have had a partial response to the first dose. They may treat up to 3 attacks of cluster headache with the study medication. Safety assessment will be through adverse event reporting and physical examination. Patients with both episodic cluster headache as well as chronic cluster headache will be studied. Patients must either not have started preventive treatment for cluster headache or be on a stable dose of preventive medication.

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of sodium oxybate on headache response (frequency), sleep quality and quality of life in the prophylactic treatment of patients with chronic and episodic cluster headache. Oral sodium oxybate, 3-9g per night, starting with 3g in two nightly dosages of 1.5g and increased by steps of 1.5g every second or third night until treatment Response will be evaluated in an interventional, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised, parallel group, multicentre study. Primary outcome is reduction of nocturnal pain frequency Secondary outcomes are improvement of sleep quality at a subjective level as assessed by diary and standardized scales (PSQI, FOSQ), duration of pain free episodes, general clinical outcome (global evaluation), clinical global impression (CGI-S, CGI-I, CGI-E), quality of life (SF 36) and daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Score).

This study evaluates the effectiveness of physiotherapy program in the treatment of cluster headaches. Half of participants will receive a program of physiotherapy and usual drugs, while the other will receive an exercise program and usual drugs.

Cluster headache (CH) is a rare, excruciating primary headache disorder. A genetic basis has been suggested by family and twin studies, but the mode of transmission seems to vary and the amount of heritability is unclear. The number of genetic association studies investigating variants implicated in the pathophysiology of CH is limited. The HCRTR2 1246G > A and the ADH4 925A > G polymorphisms have been associated with CH. The former has been confirmed and may affect the hypothalamic hypocretin system. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible link between SPINK 1 gene and cluster headache.

Cluster headache is a primary headache disorder characterized by attacks of unilateral headache of short duration and severe pain intensity. There is an unmet need to understand the underlying disease mechanisms that will ultimately lead to the development of disease-specific medicines. Until now, it has been suggested that the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a major role in the initiation of a cluster headache attack, possibly involving the ATP-sensitive potassium channels. The current study aims to determine whether the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium channels triggers cluster headache attacks in patients with cluster headache.

The objective of the study is to demonstrate the long-term safety and performance of the ATI Neurostimulation System when used for stimulation of the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) in cluster headache subjects.

This is an observational, longitudinal cohort pilot study measuring physiological signals through wearable sensors combined with machine learning algorithms to detect behaviour, stress and headaches in patients with migraine and cluster headache.

We hypothesized that LF stimulation of the SPG would increase parasympathetic outflow, activate sensory afferents and provoke a cluster-like attack.
