The purpose of this optional sub-study to GSPB-2018 (NCT03652714) is to evaluate the changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) under different conditions to understand if postdural puncture headache is caused by changes in the cerebral blood flow and if treatment normalises that change.
The objectives of this study are to investigate the effects of needle design, needle size and stylet reinsertion on the risk for headache after diagnostic LP (lumbar puncture, Post-LP headache). The following needles are used in the study: 1. Sprotte 25 Gauge (G) (0.5 mm) atraumatic needle with introducer 2. Sprotte 22 G (0.7 mm) atraumatic needle with introducer 3. Spinocan 25 G (0.5 mm) cutting needle
This is an open label randomized controlled trial evaluating response to bupivacaine occipital nerve block compared to Tylenol/Caffeine cocktail in treatment of pregnant patients seeking care of headache.
Cluster headache is a primary headache condition characterized by clusters of one-sided, high-intensity pain attacks. The headache may be episodic or chronic. Treatment options are limited and their effects unsatisfactory. An important nerve pathway involved in the pain attacks has a switching station at the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) located in the depth of the facial bones. SPG is a known therapy target for cluster headache. The area can be identified on CT images, but is difficult to access due to its location. Thus, the Multiguide navigation system has been developed to enable precise delivery of the drugs that target SPG activity. In Trondheim, two phase 1 / Phase 2 study have been carried out using botulinum toxin A (Botox®) against SPG in patient with chronic cluster headache and chronic migraine. The results indicate that such a treatment strategy is safe and beneficial. The current study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blinded study to investigate whether precise single-injection of botulinum toxin A reduces the frequency of attacks in chronic cluster headache .
This study will evaluate the efficacy of abobotulinumtoxina on Veterans with post-traumatic headache
There is currently a gap within the literature as to the effects of a thrust versus non-thrust mobilizations techniques specifically to the upper cervical spine C0-C3 along with home exercise program to help reduce frequency and intensity of cervicogenic headaches. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of in treating headaches using non-thrust or thrust mobilizations in addition to postural corrective exercises on patient outcomes measures.
Postcraniotomy headache (PCH) has been underestimated for the past decades. However, current treatments for PCH are either considered insufficient or accompanied by severe side-effects. Some studies revealed that peri-incisional injection of a mixed cocktail that contains ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac, and methylprednisolone showed significant efficacy in relieving postoperative pain after total hip or knee arthroplasty. Previous literature reported that the cause of PCH was related to incision of the scalp and dura, which is considered similar to causes to postoperative pain after total hip or knee arthroplasty. Thus, investigators suppose that the cocktail mixture can better relieve PCH in adults.
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication after spinal anesthesia. The role of pregabalin and hydrocortisone in the treatment of PDPH is unclear. The aim of this work is to assess and compare the efficacy of both drugs in severe cases of PDPH after spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section.
The purpose of this study is to assess the outcomes of an anesthetic technique which is not synthetic opioid based, on postoperative pain modulation and development of post craniotomy headache against a cohort of patients where an opioid based standard anesthetic technique was used for craniotomy. The hypothesis that is tested is that the use of agents other than synthetic short acting opioids will reduce the amount of postoperative pain and the incidence of headache after surgery.
