Active clinical trials for "Headache"

The purpose of this study is to determine if zonisamide is effective as a preventative medication for individuals with migraine headache.

Greater occipital nerve block ("GON block") is carried out extensively in the treatment of chronic migraine, but more research is required to understand the effectiveness of the procedure. It consists of a superficial injection of local anaesthetic and steroid around a nerve at the back of the head that supplies sensation to part of the scalp. This study intends to provide more detailed information on the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of GON block with local anaesthetic and steroid in patients with chronic migraine. It does this by comparing it to a dummy (placebo) procedure (a needle is inserted near the nerve, but no therapeutic substance is injected). It is a "cross-over study": all patients will receive both the GON block and the dummy procedure (not necessarily in that order), with a period in between to assess the response to the first injection. The GON block will entail an injection of 2 mls of 2% lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) and 80 mg of DepoMedrone (a steroid) through a fine needle (a total of 4 mls). The dummy procedure will consist of an injection of 4 mls of normal saline (a solution of common salt and water) through a fine needle. Patients will be followed up at various time points throughout 6 months whilst being enrolled on the study.

The primary objective of the study is to test whether the tested Product LACIME Anti-hangover is effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover (such as headache, impaired memory, depression, anxiety, weakness, trouble sleeping and concentrating, nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, thirsty, dry mouth, sweating, sensitivity to light and sounds, vision problems) in healthy subjects.

Crossover, randomized, double blind: Q12h dosing in both periods; matching placebo for evening dosing during XR treatment; target dose: 100mg

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a fixed-dose combination of naratriptan 2,5 mg + naproxen 500 mg is effective and safe compared each monotherapy for the acute treatment of migraine.

This study evaluates the non-inferiority of Cefaliv® compared to Neosaldina® in the treatment of migraine attack in two hundred and sixteen adults of both sexes with age between eighteen and sixty five years old. The first Half of participants will receive Cefaliv®, the other half will receive Neosaldina®.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MK-6096 versus placebo for preventing migraines in participants with episodic migraine. After a 28-day Screening period during which baseline number of monthly migraine days was assessed, participants were randomized to receive MK-6096 or placebo for a 12-week Treatment Period. Participants who completed all 12 weeks of the Treatment Period received drug or placebo for an additional 2 weeks in the Run-out Period. Treatment assignment in the Run-out Period was determined at the initial randomization. In the Run-out Period, participants who received placebo in the Treatment Period continued to receive placebo and participants who received MK-6096 in the Treatment Period 2 received either MK-6096 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The hypothesis tested in the study is that MK-6096 10 mg is superior to placebo in reducing migraine frequency as measured by the mean change from baseline in monthly migraine days averaged over the 12- week treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority clinical efficacy of two different associations of drugs in the treatment of patients diagnosed with tensional-type headache in accordance with International Headache Society guidelines.

Primary objective: To investigate the efficacy and tolerability of two doses of tonabersat compared to placebo in the prophylaxis of migraine headache and to evaluate the longer term tolerability of tonabersat in an open label extension. Secondary objective(s): To obtain further data on the efficacy and dose response of tonabersat; To extend the safety and tolerability database of tonabersat; To obtain data on the pharmacokinetics of tonabersat.

Objective: To compare the incidence of chronic pain at 3 months among adults undergoing craniotomy between those received two different doses of pregabalin and those receiving placebo.
