Filter by:52 people between the ages of 18-45 who were diagnosed with cervicogenic headache by the physician who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of Bursa VM Medical Park Hospital will be included in the research. 52 people will be randomized. They will be divided into two groups, 26 people in the study group and 26 people in the control group. The study group will be called the mechanical traction group (CTG), and the control group will be called the manual traction group (MTG). After obtaining the demographic information of the individuals to be included in the study, the cases will be evaluated with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Mc-Gill Melzack Pain Questionnaire for head and neck pain before and after treatment. Cervical joint range of motion will be measured with an electrogoniometer, and muscle tone will be measured with myotonometer (MyotonPRO). Flexion and extension endurance tests will be performed on the cervical region muscles. Headache Impact Scale (HIT-6) will be performed to evaluate the functional status of the patients. Posture of patients will be evaluated with Corbin Posture Analysis. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used to evaluate the sleep quality of the patients. All patients will be informed about the study. An informed consent form will be obtained from each. The mechanical traction group (CTG) and the manual traction group (MTG) will be treated for 6 days and 2 weeks. Intermittent traction with chattanooga tru trac traction device will be applied to CTG, and manual traction, one of Cyriax's neck mobilization techniques, will be applied to MTG.transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), hotpack and ultrasound will be applied to both groups, and an exercise program will be given in the form of a home program.
The aim of this course is to investigate the effect of temporomandibular joint relaxation and myofacial relaxation techniques on quality of life , Joint range of motion, headache, depression in individuals with tension type headache.
Migraine causes severe impairment in quality of life (QOL) both during and between attacks. Migraine also increases absenteeism, reduces productivity at work as well as at home, disrupts social and family relationships, also is associated with increased healthcare costs. The current study aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated therapeutic patient education and relaxation training intervention in order to decrease the burden of migraine headache among adult patients attending the headache clinic in Ain Shams University Hospitals.
The study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical trial that aims to investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) on attack frequency and severity in patients with chronic cluster headache (CH). Study outline Month 1: Baseline. Establishment of a baseline profile of the participants CH attacks (severity, duration, medicine utilization etc), health-related quality of life (QoL) and symptoms of anxiety and depression. No active treatment. Follow-up visit after 30 days. Months 2-4: TENS period. All participants will receive TENS-treatment. Clinical follow-up visit by the end of month four. Months 5-7: Double-blinded, randomized experimental period. All participants will have an ONS-system (lead, impulse generator) implanted and will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 1) burst (paresthesia-free) ONS or 2) placebo (deactivated ONS system). Clinical follow-up visit by the end of month seven. Months 8-10: Open label period. All participants will receive tonic (conventional, paresthesia-inducing) ONS. Clinical follow-up visit by the end of month ten. During every study phase each participant will fill out a weekly electronic headache registration as well as answering questionnaires regarding health-related quality of life and symptoms of anxiety and depression before every follow-up visit.
Insomnia is a common comorbidity among adolescents with migraine. This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to determine efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia, as well as the combined effect of CBT insomnia and pain interventions, on reducing insomnia symptoms and headache-related disability in adolescents with migraine. The long-term goal is to offer effective, tailored self-management interventions that can address migraine and co-morbid sleep problems in adolescence and disrupt a cycle of persistent, disabling migraine from continuing into adulthood.
Randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind study for acute migraine attacks. Randomized to active treatment and sham treatment arms for the first treatment. Optional second active treatment. Follow up at 0, 2 and 24 hours post-treatment.
- Currently, paracetamol and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are widely used by emergency physicians in Turkey for the treatment of patients with Acute Migraine Attack Headache - The objective of the study is compare the efficacy of intravenous dexketoprofen,ibuprofen with paracetamol in the treatment of acute Migraine Attack Headache
Primary headache can be triggered by light or noise. Getting rest in a quiet and dark environment for the treatment of acute headache is recommended for relief of pain during an attack. It is hard to provide this kind of environment in a busy emergency department. We aimed to determine if eye masks and noise reduction head sets are effective in reducing pain scores, fastening pain relief when used together with standard care. We also aimed to see if these methods were preferred over standard care.
Headache is one of the most common presenting complaints in the emergency department.1 By the time patients with benign headaches present for treatment in the ED, they often have exhausted non-invasive treatments, and physicians are left with few therapeutic options. The investigators therefore propose to study the use of paracervical injection as a novel approach to managing headache in the emergency department. This procedure has great potential, if efficacious, to provide a safe, rapidly effective, non-sedating treatment for headache that does not involve intravenous line placement and systemic medication administration. To date, there are no published trials that evaluate this technique in this setting. The investigators intend to compare the efficacy of paracervical injection to standard first-line therapy (intravenous prochlorperazine and diphenhydramine) for the treatment of benign headache of any etiology in the emergency department.
