NCT ID: NCT00275795 Completed - Headache Clinical Trials

NAET Screening for Food Allergy, Sensitivity and Intolerances Using IgE-Specific Antigen Test and NST- NAET®

Start date: July 2005
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Observational

Food allergy reactions cause various health disorders in sensitive people. These reactions may be IgE-mediated,cell-mediated, energy disturbance-mediated, or a combination of the three. Certain laboratory diagnostic procedures have been able to identify most IgE-mediated or cell-mediated food reactions, but so far there is no test available in traditional medicine to test the energy-mediated allergies and sensitivities. NAET® procedures have been able to identify food substances triggering to energ disturbances in sensitive people causing related health disorders. NAET uses one of the testing procedures called NST (Neuromuscular sensitivity testing).The efficacy of NST-NAET to screen food sensitivity will be evaluated in comparison with one of the well accepted, established, traditional medicine allergy testing known as the IgE-specific antigen test.

NCT ID: NCT00272896 Completed - Migraine Clinical Trials

Hemodynamic and Headache-Inducing Effect of Intravenous Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide in Migraineurs

Start date: October 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

We hypothesized that infusion of VIP may induce headache/migraine in migraineurs and that VIP-induced headache may be associated with dilation of intra- and extracranial vessels. To test this hypothesis, we performed a double blind placebo-controlled crossover study in migraineurs and studied the effect on headache and cerebral and systemic hemodynamic parameters.

NCT ID: NCT00269581 Completed - Chronic Headaches Clinical Trials

Headstrong Intervention for Pediatric Headache

Start date: August 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Purpose of this study is to determine if a CD-ROM computer program (called "Headstrong") is effective in helping children cope with chronic headaches.

NCT ID: NCT00267618 Completed - Clinical trials for Pediatric Recurrent Headache & Abdominal Pain

Family Help Program: Pediatric Recurrent Headache and Abdominal Pain

Start date: June 2004
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program)is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Strongest Families distance intervention compared to usual or standard care that is typically provided to children with mild to moderate Recurrent Headache/Abdominal Pain symptomology. This is a single-centre trial based at the IWK Health Centre. The primary outcome is change in diagnosis.

NCT ID: NCT00263094 Completed - Headache Clinical Trials

An End to the Yom Kippur (and Ramadan) Headache

Start date: September 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Fasting is a known trigger for headache. People who fast to comply with religious edict have been shown to be prone to headache which becomes more likely to occur with increasing length of fasting, and in people prone to headache. This has been documented as 'Yom Kippur Headache' and 'First of Ramadan Headache.' We performed a study to test the hypothesis that Rofecoxib, a pain medicine and anti-inflammatory, with a prolonged duration of action would prevent or attenuate headache when taken just prior to the complete (no food or drink) 25 hour fast of Yom Kippur.

NCT ID: NCT00261469 Completed - Headache Clinical Trials

An Open-label Study to Evaluate Topiramate Therapy in Migraine Patients, and Its Effects on Subject Responsiveness to Migraine Treatment With Triptans

Start date: April 2003
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether prophylactic use of topiramate (preventative use before a migraine attack) enhances the effectiveness of migraine treatment with triptans.

NCT ID: NCT00257985 Completed - Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trials

Glyceryl-Trinitrate-Induced Headache in Patients With Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 1 and 2

Start date: April 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the present study is to explore functional consequences of migraine gene mutations on their responses to GTN infusion.

NCT ID: NCT00256802 Completed - Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trials

The Diameter of the Middle Cerebral Artery Measured With Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Start date: June 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To examine the ability of MRA to measure the effect of GTN on the intra-cranial vascular response during the GTN-induced headache in healthy volunteers.

NCT ID: NCT00255320 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Volunteers, Headache, Migraine, Hemodynamics, VIP, SPECT, Ultrasound

Experimental Headache Induced by Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide

Start date: December 2003
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

We hypothesized that infusion of VIP may induce headache in healthy subjects and that VIP induced headache may be associated with dilatation of intra- and extracerebral blood vessels. To test this hypothesis, we performed a double blind placebo controlled crossover study in normal human volunteers and studied the effect on headache and cerebral as well as hemodynamic parameters.

NCT ID: NCT00246350 Completed - Headache Disorders Clinical Trials

Spinal Manipulation for Treatment of Chronic Headaches

Start date: September 2004
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study will determine the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in reducing pain in people with chronic headaches accompanied by neck pain. This study will also determine the number of spinal manipulation treatments necessary for optimal pain relief.
