Filter by:Since there is conflicting and insufficient data regarding CH personality and addictive behaviour, the investigators will investigate risk- and reward seeking behaviour in people with cluster headache. If an increased tendency towards this behaviour is shown, it will add to the clinical knowledge of cluster headache and possible lead to insights in a common biological susceptibility.
Headache disorders are among the most prevalent medical conditions worldwide. The diagnosis of headache disorders is based on medical history taking. Digital solutions such as natural language processing (NLP) may be of aid to understand the linguistic aspects of headache attack and headache related disability descriptions by patients. Participants will provide a written description of their headache disorder. The results will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the potential use of NLP in headache disorders.
Cluster headache is a primary headache disorder characterized by attacks of unilateral headache of short duration and severe pain intensity. There is an unmet need to understand the underlying disease mechanisms that will ultimately lead to the development of disease-specific medicines. Until now, it has been suggested that the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a major role in the initiation of a cluster headache attack, possibly involving the ATP-sensitive potassium channels. The current study aims to determine whether the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium channels triggers cluster headache attacks in patients with cluster headache.
The main goal of this trial is to inform about long-term safety and tolerability of eptinezumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
This study collects data from migraine and cluster headache patients during a three-month study. Contextual data (e.g. location or smartphone usage) and physiological variables will be used to assist machine learning algorithms in making predictions on activity, stress and sleep in patients with migraine or cluster headache.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of erenumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
This is an observational, longitudinal cohort pilot study measuring physiological signals through wearable sensors combined with machine learning algorithms to detect behaviour, stress and headaches in patients with migraine and cluster headache.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of eptinezumab in participants with episodic Cluster Headache (eCH)
Ketamine has been used clinically IV in a very safe manner by a very small number of clinicians, to treat migraines and CH, and various other rarer pain disorders, including mixed headache and neuropathic pain clinical syndromes. In 5 cases taken from Krusz J.C. headache clinic data in Dallas, Texas US, an intranasal spray of ketamine aqueous solution of 100 µL in one nostril were dosed in treatment of patients with refractory chronic cluster headache as an alternative to IV-treatment (data not published).The net conclusion, at this point, is that intranasal ketamine is a legitimate pharmacologic treatment and is safe and has in one case series proven effective for CH rescue. The CCH patients will be dosed with an intranasal spray containing 172.5 mg ketamine hydrochloride (150 mg ketamine base) per ml in an aqueous solution. The individual dosing includes 15 mg ketamine in an intranasal sprayed volume of 100 µL given in one nose nostril under supervision of a nurse. The treatment is initiated at T0 under a CH attack when the headache pain exceeds NRS = 6 on an NRS pain scale. The first intranasal dose of 15 mg is given at time 0 and at time intervals of 6 minutes. At 15 minutes after 3 doses (45 mg) it is decided to evaluate whether the patient is sufficiently pain relieved (e.g. NRS < 4) or wants to receive rescue medications instead or if pain is not sufficiently relieved wants to continue until 5 dosing's (75 mg) are received at timepoints T24. The final evaluation of the treatment is performed at T30. Participants are followed up after 1-2 weeks by telehone
