Filter by:The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of headache in undergraduate students. The frequency, duration, localizations and symptoms of headache will be determined with the information obtained as a result of the forms filled in by the participants. The second aim of this study is to examine the effects of headache on physical, social and psychological status in undergraduate student(participants) from a biopsychosocial perspective.
Headache is one of the common causes of emergency department admissions and constitutes approximately 2%. Although the exact mechanism is not clear, It is known that high-flow oxygen therapy is effective in headache treatment. There are limited studies related to the use of oxygen therapy in headaches and its derivatives in the literature. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the high and medium flow oxygen therapies with placebo in primary headache disorders.
Objective: Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency therapy can be used on the greateroccipital nerve (GON) in patients with chronic migraine (CM) who are unresponsive to conservative treatments. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the change in pain intensity, duration of migraine episodes, frequency of attacks,migraine disability, depression,and sleep disturbance scores before and after treatment in patients with CM who underwent ultrasound-guided GON pulsed radiofrequency and the effectiveness of treatment. Patients and methods:The study included 25 patients who were diagnosed as having CMaccording to the International Classification of Headache Disorders III beta version diagnostic criteria. The Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),and a visual analog scale (VAS) were used on patients before GON pulsed radiofrequency treatment and at post treatment months 1 and 3. Results:The median duration and number of migraine episodes in the post-interventional 1st month and 3rd month were significantly shorter and fewer compared with the pre intervention period (p<0.001). In the comparison with the pre intervention values, all of the scoring concepts, namely the MIDAS, VAS, BDI, and PSQI, revealed a significant drop in the post intervention 1st and 3rd month (p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, we observed that ultrasound-guided GON pulsed radiofrequency therapy applied at the proximal (C2) level was a safe and effective treatment option.With GON pulsed radiofrequency, we observed a decrease in pain intensity, pain frequency, andduration of episodes, and an improvement in depression symptoms, migraine disability, and sleep disorder scores accompanying chronic migraine.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of erenumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
Observational analytic study with prospective cohort design that aim to describe the presence of typical features of migraine in a cohort of nummular headache patients. The aim of the study is to analyze family history, epidemiology, clinical description, presence of prodromes, postdromes and response to treatment.
To investigate the glutaminergic system in the onset of migraine-like attacks.
To what extent the somatotopy of the 3 branches of the trigeminal nerve (V1,V2,V3) as well as the greater occipital nerve (GON) in the brainstem but also in the thalamus and the insula can be mapped using functional imaging and BOLD in humans is not known but might play an important role in imaging headache diseases. The aim is to map their somatotopy by random stimulation of V1, V2, V3 and the GON with painful electrical input during acquisition of BOLD-fMRI.
The aim of the study is to examine symptomatology, quantitative sensory test (QST) parameters, muscle tenderness and muscle hardness in migraine patients interictally and compare with healthy controls
Purpose of the study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of an on- line questionnaire in comparison to a semi-structured interview administered by a trained interviewer.
This trial is collaboration between Mayo Clinic, Second Opinion Health (Simon Bloch, simon@somobilehealth.com 408-981-3814) and Allergan. Mayo Clinic investigators are conducting the clinical trial, Second Opinion Health is providing the software for use in the trial (Migraine Alert app for data collection, analysis and machine learning algorithms), and Allergan is providing funding. The investigators hypothesize that the use of a mobile phone app and Fitbit wearable to collect daily headache diary data, exposure/trigger data and physiologic data will predict the occurrence of migraine attacks with high accuracy. The objective of the trial is to assess the ability to use daily exposure/trigger and symptom data, as well as physiologic data (collected by Fitbit) to create individual predictive migraine models to accurately predict migraine attacks in individual patients via a mobile phone app.
