Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of self-administered intranasal cooling for the symptomatic relief of migraine headache and associated symptoms in an "at home setting". 10-20 patients - who have been diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache disorders (2nd Edition) criteria for Episodic migraine, with or without aura - will be included in the study. During a screening period of one month participants will record their migraine symptoms, any treatment and treatment effects. After a minimum om two migraine attacks the participants receive individual instructions on how to use the The RhinoChill® system. During the following treatment period of the study, participants are instructed to treat their upcoming three migraine attacks with 10 minutes of nasal cavity cooling according to the instructions and thereby register symptoms and treatment effects after 10 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours.
Headache and backache are common symptoms following childbirth. The incidence of these symptoms have been shown to increase during the postpartum period between 5 to 12 months following delivery. By 12 months postpartum up to 45% and 65% of women experience headache and backache, respectively. While studies have reported headache and backache as frequently persistent symptoms beyond the first year postpartum, few studies have specifically interrogated women seeking specialist pain physician input or identified predisposing risk factors. Finally there is little known about typically described pain characteristics of women who suffer with chronic postpartum headache and backache. We aim to compare the prevalence of chronic headache in women that have versus have not experienced childbirth.
This is a prospective study for abdominal myomectomies performed from June 2012 to June 2019 by a single surgeon in a tertiary care referral hospital. Large uterine myoma was defined as the estimated diameter of dominant myoma equal to or larger than 10 cm by sonography. Demographics, diagnosis, perioperative variables, operative outcomes and complications were recorded. The Intraoperative anesthetic management, blood and blood products transfusion, and total volume of blood loss, as well as postoperative follow-up, were reviewed for each patient.
Headache is an important health problem. It is the commonest type of all signs of illness in the people worldwide. Cervicogenic Headache is commonest musculoskeletal condition in physiotherapy practice. This study's main objective was to evaluate effectiveness of Dry Needle with exercise in decreasing pain and improving function in patients with Cervicogenic Headache.
The study objective was to identify predictive criteria of severe non-traumatic secondary headache among the information gathered during telephone interview conducted by the on-call regulating physician at the Centre15.
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate a bundle of implementation strategies at three Veteran Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) to facilitate the referral and adoption of a telehealth based, cognitive behavioral therapy program delivered by Health Psychologists for Veterans with chronic migraine to inform a future fully-powered hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation design. Veteran patients will be randomized to either the telehealth delivered CBT or usual care. Headache symptoms and severity will be reported using a VA text messaging application.
This is a single-center observational study on adolescents to determine predictors of the early steps of the formation of atherosclerosis and to quantify their influence on Intima-Media-Thickness of the carotid artery and the aorta and on the Pulse-Wave Velocity. A long-term follow-up by means of record linkage is furthermore planned to evaluate the effect of early atherosclerosis and the cardiovascular risk profile on future morbidity with a special focus cardio- and cerebrovascular events.
Adenosine is a nucleoside that plays a role in both vascular and nociceptive systems, and it has been proposed that adenosine may cause headache in particularly sensitive subjects. Thus, considerable evidence implied that adenosine plays a role in migraine pathophysiology, it is still unknown if intravenous adenosine infusion provokes migraine attacks in healthy subject or in migraine patients. Furthermore, adenosine's effects on the cerebral hemodynamic remains unknown. This study aims to clarify a possible coherence between adenosine and headache/migraine. In general, the study will contribute to a greater understanding of migraine pathogenesis and possibly lead to development of specific migraine treatment.
Tension-type headache (TTH) causes a significant negative impact on working and daily life due to the reduction in work productivity and family and social activities causes. There is evidence that manual therapy and exercise reduce nociceptive input from the cervical spine and surrounding muscles, the use of manual therapy in TTH management
This study aims to conduct an initial evaluation of whether a single, online, group-based session of hypnosis followed by self-hypnosis can decrease symptoms of migraine and tension-type headaches as well as improve quality of life and perceived self-efficacy over the condition.
