Filter by:Chronic tension-type headaches (CTTHs) affect 30-40% of the population and account for a number of absences from, and decreased performances at, work and school as well as recreational activities. CTTHs typically occur at least 15 times a month or at least every second day, and present as an achy or tight sensation that is felt around the head . The pain may last from 30 minutes to several days and varies in intensity . Conventional treatment is palliative, consisting of analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which may produce adverse effects and analgesic rebound headaches . Lacticum acidum 30CH is a homoeopathic remedy that has been shown to have potential benefits in the treatment of CTTHs . Homaccords are the preparation of one remedy in multiple increasing potencies in a single vehicle . There has been no research done to date on Lacticum acidum Homaccord in the treatment of CTTHs.The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Lacticum acidum Homaccord in the treatment of chronic tension-type headaches, using the modified Headache Diary and the Headache Disability Inventory.
We aimed to investigate the association between the position in which spinal anesthesia was performed and postdural puncture headache occurrence.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TDCS is an effective prophylactic therapy of chronic migraine.
Headaches are a common medical problem that physicians frequently encounter in their practice. One of key findings of The Atlas of Headache Disorders prepared by World Health Organization (WHO) is: headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headache (TTH), are among the most prevalent disorders of mankind. The fixed combination of indomethacin, prochlorperazine and caffeine (IndoProCaf) showed efficacy and safety in acute treatment of migraine and episodic tension-type headache attacks. IndoProCaf (Difmetre®) is widely used in common daily practice only in Italy from early 1970s, is available at the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) pharmaceutical market now. There are limited data regarding IndoProCaf usage from post-marketing settings. This will be a first post-marketing observational study which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and patients' satisfaction of primary headaches acute treatment in routine clinical settings in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
The study aims to investigate - if a 7 day therapeutic fasting regimen will affect self-efficacy of patients with chronic diseases - the effects of fasting on physical and mental well-being, quality of life and body awareness/image - the association between patients characteristics and the perceived health benefit after fasting - the association between Diagnosis according to traditional Chinese medicine and physical and mental well-being during the course of fasting - experiences and perceptions of patients during fasting therapy
Haloperidol is known to be a safe alternative medication to control difficult pain, and has been shown effective when compared to placebo for controlling headaches. Investigators hypothesized that the combination of haloperidol and diphenhydramine would be a useful medication choice for migraine headache patients in the emergency department in comparison to a common migraine treatment regimen of metoclopramide and diphenhydramine.
Motion limitations have been previously reported in people with headaches originating from the neck/cervicogenic headaches. A test involving flexing and rotating the neck has been found useful to diagnose this type of headache. This observational study investigates this neck motion test when performed actively by the patient and passively by the examiner, then compares the results of motion attained.
In this study the investigators will research the hypothesis that the gas carbon monoxide induces headache and increases the blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery.
This is a Phase 1/ Phase 2, 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ELS-M11 compared to placebo in 50 male and female subjects, aged 18 to 65 years that suffer recurring moderate-severe migraine headaches (2-8 per month). This study is designed to describe the efficacy and safety of ELS-M11 as compared to placebo.
Headache is one of the most common reasons for patients to access healthcare. Greater occipital nerve (GON) block with local anesthetic and steroid has been described for the management of primary headache refractory to conventional treatment. Two ultrasound (US)-guided techniques for greater occipital nerve (GON) block have been described for the management of refractory headache syndromes: a proximal technique performed at the level of the second cervical vertebra and a distal technique performed at the level of the superior nuchal line. Our airm is to compare the accuracy, efficacy and safety of these two techniques in patients with refractory headaches.
