Filter by:The goal of this mixed method study is to test and evaluate the effect of an early interdisciplinary non-pharmacological treatment of patients at risk of developing persistent posttraumatic headache in order to prevent the development of persistent posttraumatic headache and thereby, reduce persistency and improve the quality of life. Furthermore, to gain knowledge on and a deeper understanding of the patients' perspective and experience of the treatment. The project consists of 3 sub studies: 1. A feasibility study; with the purpose of exploring the feasibility of an early non-pharmacological intervention for patients with persistent posttraumatic headache after mild traumatic brain injury. 2. An experimental design; a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of the early non-pharmacological treatment. 3. A qualitative focus group interview study; to get a more nuanced knowledge of patients' experience with the non-pharmacological treatment related to post traumatic headache.
In previous clinical trial work, the investigators observed lasting reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin. This purpose of this study is to examine potential sources for this observed effect. This study will measure brain resting state functional connectivity (fMRI), central synaptic density (SV2A PET), peripheral markers of inflammation, circadian rhythm (actigraphy), and sleep (sleep EEG) in both migraine and healthy control participants before and one week after the administration of psilocybin or an active control agent.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether injecting lidocaine and steroids into two blood vessels of the brain can help treat chronic headaches (migraines). The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Is this treatment safe for chronic migraine patients? - Is this treatment effective for chronic migraine patients? Participants will: - Be treated once with lidocaine and steroid infused into the middle meningeal arteries (two blood vessels in the brain). - Attend appointments scheduled 1 week, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks after the treatment for a checkup. - Keep a log of their symptoms.
Cervicogenic headache (CGH) manifests as unilateral neck pain referred from the neck's soft tissues or bony structures. The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of Shi style cervical mobilization versus Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides on pain, strength and functional disability in patients with Cervicogenic Headache.
The study of the ability to predict pain in a migraine attack, through premonitory symptoms and through an ambulatory monitoring device through real-time recording of hemodynamic variables, is one of the strategic lines of research of the unit. of Headaches at the Hospital de La Princesa since 2013 together with the Complutense and Polytechnic University of Madrid. Their results have been reflected in various publications (Pagán J, et al. Sensors 2015; Gago-Veiga AB, et al. J Pain Res 2018) and have promoted the creation of several invention patents.
Cervicogenic headache is a very incessant issue that is often faced by the general population. Cervicogenic headache is a significant issue in patients with upper cervical dysfunction. However, its physical therapy management is a subject of debate. As the Comparative effects of Jones technique and cross-friction massage have never been investigated in patients with cervicogenic headache and neck pain, this study aims to investigate the effects of these treatments on two study groups (Group A&B) respectively.
Tension-type headaches, characterized by a dull, aching head pain, are one of the most prevalent forms of headache disorders worldwide. Although they are typically not associated with severe disability or neurological symptoms, they can significantly impact an individual's quality of life due to chronic pain and discomfort. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as manual therapy techniques, have gained prominence in headache management, offering potential relief and functional improvements for patients. This study aims to investigate the comparative effectiveness of two widely used manual therapy approaches, Mulligan mobilization and Active Release Technique (ART), in alleviating pain, reducing disability, and enhancing range of motion (ROM) in patients suffering from tension-type headaches. Understanding which technique offers superior outcomes is vital for optimizing headache management strategies.
The relationship between obesity and the development of chronic headache after traumatic brain injury will be investigated.
A prospective, bicentric, randomized, double-blind controlled study including parturients scheduled for elective caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia and randomized and assigned to one of the two groups: Group O ondansetron : receiving Intravenous (IV) ondansetron 0.10 mg/ kg diluted in 5 ml normal saline, 5 min before spinal anesthesia Group C control : receiving IV normal saline 5 ml (control group) 5 min before spinal anesthesia OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the efficacy of ondansetron in preventing post-dural puncture headache after spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section.
The purpose of this study is to determine feasibility and acceptability of telehealth music imagery for migraine (Aim 1) and to explore whether there are clinically meaningful changes in headache frequency and associated patient-centered outcomes (Aim 2).
