Active clinical trials for "Headache"

A randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of yoga on tension type headache and / or migraine in adolescents between 12 and 16 years, consisting of a four group design which includes an 12 week yoga course and a three-month follow-up period. Both adolescent and one parent will be randomized either to yoga or no treatment. Primary outcome will be pain frequency in adolescents considering pain catastrophizing of parents.

The main objective of this study is to determine the effects caused in neck movement, neck pain, headache in patients with tension type headache and cervicogenic headache after application of sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique associated with interferential electrotherapy.

This study is being conducted to determine if OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN delivered nasally (through the nose) using the OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN DEVICE can reduce the pain associated with migraine headaches in 30 minutes after use.

The study is being conducted to determine if OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN delivered nasally (through the nose) using the OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN Device can reduce the pain and symptoms associated with migraine headaches.

This research is being done to study the effect of incorporating acupuncture into the management of migraines. The primary aim is to determine in a randomized, controlled study whether individuals experiencing migraines have fewer occurrences and less intense migraines when acupuncture is integrated with nonprescription pharmacological treatment. Nonprescription pharmacological treatment in this study refers to the use of the following over the counter medications: Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Acetaminophen (with or without caffeine). Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Naproxen are members of a class of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs.

The investigators test a different technique using morphine to improve pain relief in patient visiting the emergency department with acute trauma pain, for this we are comparing three different methods of morphine administration: intravenous titrated morphine low dose nebulized morphine and high dose nebulized morphine

This is a double-blinded, randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of R-verapamil in the prophylaxis of episodic cluster headache.

Introduction. Tension-type headache is a highly prevalent disorder with a significant socio-economic impact, affecting psychological aspects. This study aims to assess aspects pertaining to anxiety, depression, headache frequency and pain intensity. Subjects and methods. A clinical trial was conducted on 84 participants suffering from tension-type headache, divided into 4 groups, the mean age being 39.76 years (SD 11.38). The first group received suboccipital soft tissue treatment (ST); the second group was treated with articulatory technique (AT); the third group was applied a combination of both techniques (ST and AT) and a forth group which served as control group. Treatment sessions were administered during four weeks, with a post-treatment assessment, and follow-up after one month. The investigators conducted Repeated measures Analysis of Covariance (RM-MANCOVA) to evaluate the effect of treatment on between and within-subject conditions and their interaction on reported depression, anxiety, and headache pain frequency and intensity.

To confirm the combination rationale for the combination of ASA + paracetamol + caffeine compared with the combination of ASA + paracetamol and the individual substances ASA, paracetamol, caffeine, and placebo administered orally to headache patients for two headache episodes

Due to recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the number of Veteran suffering from Mild traumatic brain(MTBI) injury and PTSD increases rapidly. Headache is one of the most debilitating clinical symptoms in Veteran with MTBI and the cause of it is still not entirely clear. Recently, the use of non-invasive brain stimulation such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) has yielded favorable clinical outcome in a few intractable chronic central pain conditions including headaches. This study aims to 1) assess the effect of rTMS in relieving headache and improving neurophysiological functions; and 2)explore the neuronal mechanisms associated with MTBI related headache and the analgesic effect of rTMS with function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
