Fascial Distortion Model in Tension Type Headache

Postural; DefectTension-Type Headache4 more

Tension-type headache is a headache that starts from the cervical and suboccipital regions, spreads from the back of the head to the parietal, frontal and temporal regions, and is felt in the form of compression, pressure and heaviness. Increased muscle and fascia tone in the cervical and cranial region, together with active trigger points and factors that trigger pain, cause tension-type headache. Head and neck fascia serves as an important proprioceptive structure in our body. Abnormal inputs from mechanoreceptors and structures around the joint cause deterioration in joint position sense. This study was planned to investigate the effects of the new facial distortion model on pain intensity, cervical posture and joint position sense, unlike the manual techniques used in previous studies in tension-type headache.

Steroids in Occipital Nerve Block for Treatment of Headache

HeadacheOccipital Nerve Block

Currently there is limited evidence of benefit for the addition of steroids to occipital nerve blocks for treatment of headache, and not all steroids have been explored. The purpose of this research is to learn more about whether the addition of a specific kind of steroid (dexamethasone) provides any additional benefit to nerve blocks.

Multisite Advancement of Research on Chronic Posttraumatic Headache

Posttraumatic Headache

Posttraumatic headache (PTH) is a common and highly disabling consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in U.S. military service members and veterans. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for PTH has been shown to significantly improve disability outcomes in veterans with persistent PTH when delivered in-person. Telemedicine platforms can dramatically increase access to evidence-based care. However, whether CBT for PTH retains its effectiveness when delivered through a telemedicine platform has yet to be established. The purpose of this 3-arm randomized clinical trial is to compare Clinic-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CCBT) to Telemedicine-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TCBT) and to treatment as usual (TAU) in 525 service members and veterans with chronic posttraumatic headaches (PTH) at 3 VA medical centers and 4 military treatment facilities across the U.S. Participants will be assessed for headache-related disability, headache experience, and psychiatric comorbidities across multiple time points.

A Wearable Nerve Stimulator for Chronic Migraine/Headache and Mood Disturbance in Adolescents

Migraine in AdolescenceHeadache1 more

The aim of this clinical trial is to test a wrist-worn nerve stimulator in adolescents with chronic migraine/headache and mood disturbance. The main question it aims to answer is whether this device is effective in relieving clinical symptoms including pain, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance. Participants will wear the device for twelve weeks and complete monthly surveys throughout the study.

Dry Needling for Cervicogenic Headache

Headache

Currently, it is unknown if dry needling when performed to the trigeminal innervation field improves neck pain and or headache for patients with cervicogenic headaches. The aim of this study is to determine if dry needling of the trigeminal innervation field improves pain, pain-pressure thresholds, and neck mobility in patients with cervicogenic headaches, with or without migraine.

The Safety and Feasibility of tDCS Combined With Conservative Treatment for Cervicogenic Headaches...

Cervicogenic Headache

Annually, up to 150,000 individuals are affected by cervicogenic headaches (CGH) in Canada with many of these cases being chronic. Current treatments for CGH are limited in efficacy and durability - indicating a dire need for novel interventions in this population. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and physiotherapy have a high degree of safety and have been studied as interventions for many other chronic pain conditions and headache disorders. We propose to study the feasibility and safety of tDCS alongside physiotherapy for CGH further in a randomized sham controlled trial.

SMART Concussion Trial: Symptom Management vs Alternative Randomized Treatment of Concussion Trial...

Mild Traumatic Brain InjuryHeadaches Posttraumatic2 more

Given the rising rates of concussion in youth ages 10-19 and the significant proportion of young people who remain symptomatic for months following concussion, research evaluating the efficacy of multifaceted treatment options following concussion is imperative. Studies examining the efficacy of treatment strategies following concussion in children and adults are surprisingly limited, and most focus on one treatment approach, have small sample sizes, are not randomized controlled trials, and focus on individuals with prolonged recovery (months). There is a need for a multifaceted treatment trial to examine the early implementation of treatment approaches that may reduce prolonged recovery while considering the heterogeneous presentation of symptoms and patient preferences in the sub-acute stage following concussion. Randomized controlled trials that consider a multifaceted transdisciplinary approach to treatment in the early period following concussion are needed to raise the bar regarding evidence-informed management following concussion

Laser Therapy on Tension-type Cephalea and Orofacial Pain in Post-covid-19 Patients

Tension-Type HeadacheOrofacial Pain1 more

Considering the auxiliary potential effect of photobiomodulation in controlling persistent CTT and TMD-related pain in patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and are recovered from the viral infection, we intend to conduct a clinical trial comparing two modalities of therapeutic laser application: local application and transcutaneous application in the radial artery. One of the main advantages of auxiliary techniques in pain control is the decrease of the use of drugs for analgesia, avoiding side effects and tolerance caused by them, and promoting an improvement in the individual's quality of life.
