NCT00298142
The management of headache disorders is too often based upon trial and error or on personal beliefs and opinions. Seldom it is based on scientific arguments. Therefore the identification of prognostic patient characteristics is mandatory as this will lead to a more precise referral of headache patients.A prospective cohortstudy is designed to identify these prognostic patient characteristics. After testing, 186 headache patients (migraine, tension type headache and cervicogenic headache) will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. Testing includes the fulfillment of questionnaires (Headache Diagnosis Questionnaire, Headache Inventory Questionnaire and the Headache Impact Test) and physical tests (Thermal Stimuli, Cervical Spine examination and Pressure Algometry). Treatment groups are a usual care group (administered by a medical doctor) and a usual care plus physio-/ manual therapy treatment. After six weeks of treatment subjects will complete the headache inventory list and the Headache Impact Test a second time. The perceived effect will be registered allowing the distinction between responders (positive effect) and non-responders (no effect or worse). Logistic regression-analysis will be used to identify the specific patient characteristics of the responders and the non-responders. Secondly the additional value of the physio-/ manual therapy intervention will be examined. Follow-up measurements up to 52 weeks are provided.
NCT04255420
This will be a single-center, open-label clinical trial comparing sphenopalatine ganglion blocks to standard intravenous therapy for patients who come to the emergency department for a headache.
NCT04650282
This clinical trial will enroll participants to evaluate the effects of SPG block on post-traumatic headache. The study hypothesizes that patients that receive a SPG block with lidocaine vs. placebo (saline) will have a lower number of headache days in the week following the procedure, and will also report lower symptom scores. Eligible participants will receive one treatment (SPG block) as well as complete surveys prior to and after receiving treatment (for a total of approximately 2 weeks).
NCT00804973
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active comparator-controlled study of LY2590443 in approximately 200 participants with migraines.
NCT05240547
This is a pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy in patients with tension-type and cervicogenic headache.
NCT02870725
Having co-occurring depression and chronic headaches is challenging and can greatly impact one's professional, personal, family, and social life. People living with chronic headaches are often at a greater risk of having comorbid psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety), reduced quality of life, and impaired functioning because of under-diagnosis, misdiagnosis or under-treatment of both chronic conditions. This study is a pilot clinical trial that will compare the effectiveness of a brief cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) depression intervention to a care as usual (control) group. The aim of the study is to determine how well the CBT intervention will reduce the frequency, severity and level of disability of both the headaches and depression symptoms.
NCT03220958
Nearly 1.5 million patients present to US emergency departments annually following head trauma. Headache is a frequent symptom of victims of head trauma. The purpose of this study is to see if an intravenous medication called metoclopramide can improve the symptoms of patients with acute post-traumatic headache.
NCT03183791
The goal of this research is to assess the utility of smartphone-based progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) for the treatment of headaches. While there are many commercially available electronic diary and mind-body intervention apps for headache, there is little data showing their efficacy. RELAXaHEAD app incorporates the electronic PMR that was successfully used in an earlier epilepsy study and beta tested with headache specialist and migraine patient input. It also is an electric headache diary. This 2-arm randomized controlled study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of RELAX for use with headache patients. One arm will be the RELAX group (the RELAXaHEAD app) and the other arm will be a monitored usual care (MUC) group (this group receives standard of care and uses the electronic daily symptom reporting diary). The goals are to assess the feasibility and adherence of the RELAX intervention in persons with headache (Aim 1) and to gather exploratory data on the effects of the RELAX intervention on headache related outcome measures (Aim 2).
NCT00246350
This study will determine the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in reducing pain in people with chronic headaches accompanied by neck pain. This study will also determine the number of spinal manipulation treatments necessary for optimal pain relief.
NCT03081416
This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of sub-dissociative dose ketamine versus standard care therapy for acute headache management of in patients presenting to the emergency department with headache as the chief compliant.
NCT02735343
Investigators are comparing Ketamine to prochlorperazinecompazine for benign headaches in the ED. Subjects will be randomized into 1 of 2 groups. Group 1 will receive standard treatment of prochlorperazinecompazine 10 mg IV along with diphenhydramine 25 mg IV. Group 2 (research arm) will receive Ketamine 0.3 mg/kg along with ondansetron 4 mg IV. Subjects will be seen at 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes post-intervention to obtain Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Headache severity, Nausea severity, Vomiting severity, Anxiety severity, and Restlessness severity. At 24-48 hours post intervention we will contact subjects and assess their pain and assess their satisfaction with their migraine pain management as part of this study. Subjects' participation will last up to 48 hours post headache.

NCT07269561
Headache is one of the most common chief complaints in clinical practice, with a high global prevalence rate. It may originate from a primary headache disorder or manifest as a clinical symptom of various diseases due to the complexity of its triggers, specific types, diagnosis, and treatment which present significant challenges. As people's life pace continues to accelerate and psychological and physiological pressures increase, many patients experience headache symptoms, leading to a growing number of patients seeking treatment in neurology departments. The increasing incidence of headache conditions has resulted in a decline in patients' quality of life. Therefore, this research is part of Hubei Province's major project "Discovery and Functional Research of Major Disease Targets Based on Genetic Big Data." The study aims to establish a clinical cohort and develop a precise diagnosis and treatment system for headaches. This system will collect the history of headache sufferers, record the real-world treatment data, and incorporate sample banks, multi-dimensional databases, pre-clinical drug evaluation platforms, and clinical efficacy precise dynamic monitoring models through immunotherapy and other cutting-edge biotechnologies, multi-omics detection technologies, and big data bioinformatics analysis technologies. The system will provide scientists and clinicians with auxiliary diagnostic and treatment decision support, offer reliable screening targets for early headache diagnosis and drug development companies, accelerate the latest headache diagnosis and targeted treatment, and achieve breakthrough advances in headache prevention and cure.
