Filter by:Patients with IHS criteria of chronic tension headache , considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, enrolled to this study. They will be randomized to intervention or control group by block randomization method, then treat by standard drug( nortriptyline 10 mg daily) or trigger point massage. They report severity, frequency, duration of headaches and number of analgesic drugs in diary during week 1 and week 4. Then data based on dairy will be analysis.
To investigate the hemodynamic effects of CGRP after glibenclamide administration.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was suggested to provide beneficial effects in chronic migraine (CM), a condition often associated with medication overuse (MO) for which no long-term therapy is available.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial in which subjects with a post concussive headache meeting inclusion criterion will be assigned to one of two treatment groups: placebo or nortriptyline. Each group will be evaluated at week 0 and again each week for the next 4 weeks of treatment with a concussion survey that rates their symptoms. At the end of 4 weeks the study will be unblinded. It is hypothesized that the addition of nortriptyline to the standard headache treatments will result in more rapid decrease of symptom score than with placebo.
Neck pain, neck muscle weakness, and limited neck range of motion have been shown in individuals with sinus headaches. Individuals in this previous study self-diagnosed their sinus headaches. It is unknown whether or not individuals who have been diagnosed with sinus headaches according to diagnostic criteria also present with musculoskeletal impairments. The purpose of this study is to determine if musculoskeletal neck impairments are present in individuals diagnosed with headaches attributed to rhinosinusitis compared to people without headaches. Upper cervical range of motion can be measured using different tests. The side bend rotation test has been suggested as potentially more useful than the flexion rotation test in individuals with hyper-laxity, however, has not been examined in a symptomatic population. A secondary purpose is to compare the side bend rotation test to the cervical flexion rotation test in people with varying degrees of joint laxity.
To investigate the glutaminergic system in the onset of migraine-like attacks.
Headaches are extremely common illnesses with a combined lifetime prevalence of 90-99% in Europe. Despite this high prevalence, there are persons who have never, in their whole life, encountered a headache. The aim of the study is to identify factors that protect against headache by studying multiomics in people who never have had a headache (headache resistant) versus non-resistant controls. The investigators will measure multiomic changes (transcriptomics and metabolomics) after pain induction by Cold Pressor Test. 3 blood samples, two for RNA and one for metabolites are taken 5 minutes before a Cold Pressor Test and again 1 hour after the Cold Pressor Test. The investigators hope to contribute with novelty to the current understanding of headache pathophysiology and development of more efficient treatment of headache.

The aim of the study is to identify factors that protect against headache by studying multiomics in people who never have had a headache (headache resistant) versus non-resistant controls. The investigators will measure multiomic changes (transcriptomics and metabolomics) after headache provocation with isosorbide mononitrate. 3 blood samples, two for RNA and one for metabolomics are taken right before administration of isosorbide mononitrate, 3 hours after administration of isosorbide mononitrate and again 5 hours after administration of isosorbide mononitrate. The investigators hope to contribute with novelty to the current understanding of headache pathophysiology and development of more efficient treatment of headache.
In seeking to understand the capacity for psilocybin to reduce migraine headache burden, this study will investigate single and repeated dosing of psilocybin up to two doses. In seeking to identify an underlying mechanism in psilocybin's effects, neuroinflammatory markers for migraine headache will be measured.
"Xuefu-Zhuyu capsule" (XFZY) is made from a classic Fangji "Xuefu-Zhuyu Decoction" in an ancient Chinese medical book "Yi Lin Gai Cuo" by Chinese physician Wang Qingren, which is the most representative formula for the treatment of "Qizhi-Xueyu Zheng" (Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis Syndrome). XFZY concludes 11 kinds of Chinese herbs: Danggui(Angelica sinensis), Honghua(Safflower Flower), Chishao(Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Shengdihuang(Radix Rehmanniae), Taoren(Peach Seed), Zhike(Fructus Aurantii), Jugeng(Platycodon grandiflorum), Chuanxiong(Rhizome of Chuanxiong), Chaihu(Radix Bupleuri), Chuanniuxi(Cyathula Officinalis),Gancao(liquorice).It is mainly used to treat "Qizhi-Xueyu Zheng", which includes the symptoms such as different types of pain, irritability or depression, insomnia, chest tightness, dark skin, lumps or masses in vitro or in vivo, petechiae on the tongue, and dark purple tongue. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of XFZY in treating "Qizhi-Xueyu Zheng", and investigate the most suitable diseases of XFZY.
