Active clinical trials for "Headache"

To investigate the effect of the treatment with Grindcare® on the parafunction of the muscles- and jaw activity (Bruxism) during sleep.

ED patients with acute migraine will be randomized to either prochlorperazine and Bendaryl OR imitrex. VAS for pain will be monitored, along with side effects. Primary outcome measure is improvement in pain scales between the groups.

to demonstrate the superiority of Trexima (combination of sumatriptan as the succinate 85 mg and naproxen sodium 500 mg) versus placebo in the acute treatment of migraine to demonstrate the superiority of Trexima versus the individual components (sumatriptan as the succinate 85 mg and naproxen sodium 500 mg), and to evaluate the safety of the Trexima.

The purpose of this research study is to assess hormone withdrawal symptoms in women while taking an oral contraceptive in the novel 24/4 (24 days of "real" pills) manner in comparison to taking pills in the standard 21/7 (21 "real" pills) manner. It is hypothesized that the 24/4 method will reduce common hormone withdrawal symptoms compared to the standard 21/7 regimen. It is further hypothesized that women using the 24/4 regimen will report greater satisfaction scores.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of rizatriptan, alone or combined with caffeine for treating acute attacks of migraine. Each subject will have 3 months to treat 3 acute migraine headache attacks. Each subject will be dispensed one box containing 3 packets of study medication labeled for Headache #1, Headache #2, or Headache #3. Each packet wil contain either Maxalt 10mg MLT or a Maxalt placebo (sugar pill), and a capsule containing either caffeine 75mg or a capsule containing placebo (sugar). One headache will be treated with a combination of Maxalt 10mg MLT and caffeine. Another headache will be treated with a combination of Maxalt 10mg MLT and a capsule containing placebo. A third headache will be treated with just placebo. Neither the subject, the study coordinator, or your study doctor will know in which order you will receive the three different treatments. This information is available in case of emergency.

A study to compare rizatriptan 10 mg verse sumatriptan 100 mg in the treatment of migraine attacks and duration of relief provided. This study will also provide additional efficacy data on rizatriptan 5 mg and 10 mg for the treatment of migraine.

Females 18 years of age or older with at least one year history of menstrual migraine (MM) headaches participated in a Phase 4 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of frovatriptan when used at the early stage (International Headache Society [IHS] Grade 1) of MM compared with patients' current treatment.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of Treximet when taken for post traumatic headache by measuring any change in the number of headache days or any change in a subject's ability to think following treatment with study medication. Eligible subjects will complete 3 visits. Following Visit 1, subjects will treat with their usual medication and document headache symptoms and therapy in a Headache Diary. After 30 days, subjects will return for Visit 2 and be randomized (like the flip of a coin) to receive Treximet or matching placebo to treat at the same time each day. Treximet will be provided to treat any headache that occurs. Subjects will complete a daily Diary. After 30 days, subjects will exit the study at Visit 3.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether acupuncture can reduce pain in long-term headache sufferers.

This is a prospective, single-centre, cross-over study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the bion, an implantable medical device, for the treatment of chronic headaches. The clinical study is proposed to determine the anticipated adverse event rate and treatment outcomes at the conclusion of the study. Each trial subject will serve as his/her own control.
