Filter by:This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of riocigaut on cerebral arteries and headache inducing properties in healthy volunteers.
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.
Headache is the most common type of pain in children and adolescents with effects on health-related quality of life (HrQoL), school attendance, and social functioning. The International Headache Society recognizes that secondary headaches can be attributed to temporamandibular joint (TMJ) problems. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate temporamandibular joint functions and parafunctional habits in adolescents with headache. The second aim is to examine the relationship between temporamandibular joint functions and parafunctional habits and headache.
The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of cognitive dysfunction in patients with cervicogenic headache. participants will be asked questions to determine their cognitive status at once.
The aim of the present study to investigate whether - Opening of KATP channels causes migraine pain by activation of meningeal nociceptors and ascending trigeminal nociceptive pathways. - Opening of KATP channels causes migraine aura by induction of CSD.
The purpose of the study is to compare Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) and aminophylline in the efficacy and safety management of PDPH.
This study is a double blind, randomized controlled trail. condition/disease: acute tension headache treatment/intervention: Pharmacopuncture
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique In pain intensity, frequency of headache, medication Uptake, Suboccipital movement in flexion and extension, rounded shoulder, forward head posture and proprioception of cervical spine in cases of cervicogenic headache related to trigger points and myofascial restrictions when combined with conventional physical therapy modalities.
Background: Migraine is a very common neurobiological disorder caused by increased excitability of the Central Nervous System. It is among the causes of the highest morbidity worldwide. Migraine has considerable economic and social impact ; affects the quality of life of patients and disrupts work life, social activities and family life. To decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks may be the first goal than treating the attacks. The study was designed as a Parallel Group, Add on, Randomized Controlled Experiment in order to observe the effects of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches, frequency and severity. Methods: Participants will be divided into 2 parallel arms, intervention and control (treatment as usual). Cluster randomization will be performed to prevent intergroup contamination. Breathing techniques will be taught to the intervention group by the researcher. Both groups will continue to use pharmacotherapy for migraine. Both groups will be evaluated with migraine disability level (MIDAS) at the beginning and end of the study. The primary output of the study is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the frequency and severity of attacks in migraine-like headaches. The secondary output is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the MIDAS level. Discussion: The results of the study will provide information about the effect of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches. The results of this study will contribute to the literature, since migraine is among the chronic diseases and pharmacotherapy options are limited.
This research aims to look at the effect of low-dose naltrexone on the severity and frequency of attacks in people with chronic migraine with or without new daily persistent headache and fibromyalgia. A few studies suggest low-dose naltrexone is effective for fibromyalgia, but it has not been studied in patients with migraine and headaches. Our goal is to see if there is an improvement in either severity and frequency of attacks and overall impact on quality of life over a three-month period.
