Filter by:The aim of our study is to determine the effect of ELDOA in relieving pain, improving ROM and functional disability in patients with cervicogenic headache. This study will add to the growing body of knowledge that if this technique yields comparable outcomes, it would be the alternative therapy. Moreover, it would add to the society as no literature is available on the effect of ELDOA technique in the management of Cervicogenic headache.
Trigeminal ganglion (TG) radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) and ultrasound (US)-guided maxillary or mandibular (max/mand) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) are two interventional procedures for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of these two procedures. For this evaluation, the numeric rating scale (NRS) was used to assess pain relief and the Medication Quantification Scale III (MQS III) was used to assess the effectiveness of the interventions on medication consumption. The rates of adverse events related to the interventions were also compared.
This longitudinal randomized controlled trial explored how long-term practice of neurofeedback mindfulness would be helpful for migraine management when compare dot a similar controlled intervention. All the participants went through assigned 10 minutes practices on a daily basis for 8 weeks. Behavioural reports and migraine characteristics were compared before and after the intervention.
As the second phase of our study on migraine headaches and neurofeedback mindfulness, we will explore how chronic migraineurs will benefit from a long term practice (8 weeks) of neurofeedback mindfulness compared to a similar attention group and a waitlisted group. This randomized controlled trial will also explore if migrianuers could decrease their dependence on medicine intake after completion of the study.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the pain sensitivity in tension-type headache patients. The main question it aims to answer is: - Are signs of central sensitization present in tension-type headache? Participants will be asked to fill out baseline questionnaires and they will be assessed during 1 test moment (static and dynamic quantitative sensory testing). Researchers will compare tension-type headache patients with healthy controls to see if signs of central sensitization are only present in the tension-type headache group.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if a sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block, performed through intranasal atomization of 4% lidocaine, is able to prevent cold induced cephalgia ("Brain Freeze"). Secondary objectives will be to determine the degree of decreased pain/duration of brain freeze after sphenopalatine ganglion block
Background: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on evaluations in the pediatric emergency department (ED) because of headache as main symptom. Methods: Number and clinical features of patients evaluated in the pediatric ED of a single site in Milan,Italy, were collected between January 2017 and January 2022. The impact of COVID-19 on evaluation rates was quantified by using the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) between the pandemic (March 2020 to January 2022) and the prepandemic period (January 2017 to February 2020).
This study is a single-center, randomized, double-blind controlled study. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups by envelope drawing. The subjects will be divided into two groups: the acute intervention group and the preventive intervention group. In each group, the subjects will be randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group by means of envelope extraction. Children and adolescents (7-20 years old) with migraine who met the inclusion criteria will be enrolled as subjects in the experimental group, and the changes in headache scores before and after the intervention will be compared. The intervention method is as follows: ictal intervention, in which subjects will be evaluated for headache improvement after a short intervention during an acute exacerbation. By wearing a vagus stimulator, the stimulating electrode will be located in the concha region rich in vagus nerve fiber endings, and the appropriate stimulation intensity will be adjusted for stimulation. Therefore, this study will verify the effect of nVNS on the acute attack and preventive treatment of primary headache in children and adolescents. Based on the electrocardiogram and electromyography indicators during the intervention process of nVNS, an objective evaluation system for the improvement of headache by nVNS is established, and the role of stimulation parameters on the effect is further explored to realize the optimization of parameters.
This study will be conducted to better comprehend the effect of aminophylline in comparison to magnesium sulphate on preventing and/or treating PDPH.
Lumbar puncture (LP), often known as a "spinal tap," is a standard medical technique pioneered in the late 1900s by Heinrich Quincke. It involves the retrieval and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spinal cord, serving as the benchmark for diagnosing conditions like subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, and specific neurological conditions. Pregabalin, an anticonvulsant medicine that blocks calcium entry, is used to treat a variety of diseases. It has been used to relieve pain in a variety of patient groups, including those with chronic pain, epilepsy, and anxiety disorders
