Filter by:This is a randomized study of intravenous metoclopramide + intravenous dexamethasone versus intravenous metoclopramide for patients with acute post-traumatic headache.
The purpose of this study was to investigate cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Headache Impact Questionnaire (HIQ).
To investigate the role of KATP channels on the cerebral hemodynamic in migraine patients.
The purpose of this study was to investigate cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Headache Disability Questionnaire (HDQ).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of clorazepate in addition to the usual medication for treating migraine attack in the emergency room
This study uses a factorial research design to evaluate a nurse delivered mind body intervention using different doses of 3 treatment components to determine the optimized treatment for headache day reduction.
The study was planned to evaluate the effect of local cold application on headache severity in individuals who received intravenous nitroglycerin treatment, which mostly causes headache due to its vasoditator effect. It is thought that the results to be obtained may provide evidence for the development of patient care guidelines.
The prevalence of migraine is higher in female patients with various intestinal diseases. An explanation could be that migraine is caused by a leaky gut, defined by increased intestinal permeability that permits particles to pass through the gastrointestinal wall. Probiotics, may be able to improve intestinal barrier function. OBJECTIVE: To test whether probiotics, as adjucnt therapy, can reduce incidence and severity of migraine attacks by reducing intestinal permeability.
Approximately 1.9 million youth sustain a concussion each year, and up to 30% experience persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS) such as headache, dizziness, and difficulty focusing that continue for weeks or months. PPCS results in greater utilization of sub-specialty care and can impact immediate and long-term social development, cognitive function and academic success. Previous recommendations for treating PPCS have focused on cognitive and physical rest, but more recently guidelines have shifted based on new research suggesting the benefit of rehabilitative exercise for PPCS. The rationale behind using exercise to treat youth with concussion is that gradually increasing physical activity facilitates return to full function. Rehabilitative exercise has since become one of the most common approaches to treating youth with PPCS, but access is challenging since most programs require weekly centralized visits with a concussion specialist. To bridge this gap, the investigators developed a telehealth-delivered approach to treat PPCS, utilizing physical activity trackers (Fitbits) and weekly video conferences with trained research staff. They then conducted a series of pilot studies with this approach, finding excellent feasibility, acceptability, and evidence for more rapid declines in concussive symptoms compared to controls. The investigators also found preliminary evidence that mechanisms behind this intervention may stem from both physiologic processes due to increased moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and psychologic processes such as reducing fear- avoidance of concussive symptoms. They now propose a fully-powered randomized controlled trial (RCT) to asses the efficacy of the "Mobile Subthreshold Exercise Program" (M-STEP) for treating youth with PPCS.
This novel pilot project will assess the effectiveness of corticosteroids in treatment of acute post-concussion headache. The investigators hypothesize that the use of corticosteroids will cause significant headache reduction in frequency and/or intensity than individuals who undergo the current standard of care. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that corticosteroid use will lead to a reduction in other somatic symptoms including vestibular symptoms, leading to quicker return to school, work, and/or ability to play sports.
