Active clinical trials for "Headache"

Clinical and neuroradiologic study concerning patients suffering of cough, exertional and sexual headaches disorders (pathophysiology) concerning a venous hypothesis implication, redescribe clinical headaches specifications, confirmed if cough headaches is a clinical entity and if it has neuroradiologic differences with effort or sexual activity headaches.

The purpose of this study is to compare postlumbar puncture complaints as headache or backache after lumbar puncture with needles with Quincke design or with Sprotte design in children and adolescents.

The aim of the study is to examine symptomatology, quantitative sensory test (QST) parameters, muscle tenderness and muscle hardness in migraine patients interictally and compare with healthy controls

We hypothesized that; intrathecal administration of neostgmine in spinal anesthesia may have a beneficial role in reduction of the incidence or severity of PDPH.

Epidural analgesia is considered a gold standard method for treatment of labor pain. One of the major risks with epidural analgesia is an accidental dural puncture, which leads to a post dural puncture headache. This headache is associated with significant maternal morbidity and can result in severe maternal consequences. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is defined as an anxiety syndrome, resulting from a traumatic experience. Postpartum PTSD, is a form of PTSD that can occur in relation to a traumatic birth experience. As PDPH is unexpected and can cause severe maternal sequele, PDPH can exhibit a posttraumatic stress response. Therefore we hypothesize that parturients who suffered from a PDPH are at higher risk for developing PP-PTSD. To date, very few reports have examined the long term outcomes of parturients suffering from a PDPH. As a follow up to the national survey of PDPH management in Israel the investigators aim, in this prospective multi center, observational study, to evaluate the long term outcomes of parturients suffering from a PDPH, including chronic headache, backache, postpartum depression, decreased breastfeeding and the development of PP PTSD.

This study is aimed to elucidate the association between Pain Catastrophizing Scale Score and Postspinal Headache in Patients Underwent Cesarean Section With Spinal Anesthesia.

We aimed to investigate the association between the position in which spinal anesthesia was performed and postdural puncture headache occurrence.

Investigators hypothesize that chronic primary headaches are accompanied by a discrete pattern of brain metabolism and activity involving brain structures related to the development of acute exacerbations as well as pain modulation. Such structures include the brainstem, hypothalamus, and orbitofrontal cortex and can be defined using functional brain imaging.

The study serves to investigate the type and prevalence of non-rhinologic headaches seen through a academic otolaryngology practice.The study encompasses survey questionnaires, review of CT images, and physical examination/nasal endoscopy findings.

Through an observational, cross-sectional study, muscle activity was compared among 21 subjects with episodic headache, 17 subjects with chronic headache and 17 age-matched healthy controls. Muscle activity was bilaterally tested with needle electromyography at rest status, targeting at myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the frontal, temporal, sternocleidomastoid (SCM), splenius capitis, splenius cervicis and trapezius of each subject. Headache characteristics (intensity, frequency and duration), McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and Digital Span (DS) scales were secondary outcomes. The correlation between muscle activity and headache characteristics was also analyzed. This study provides preliminary evidence of the relationship between muscle and the chronicity of headache.
