Filter by:This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the effectiveness of Galcanezumab as an add-on therapy for Migraine participants on a stable migraine prophylaxis regimen including Botox with or without one other migraine prophylaxis agent (BMPT), who have persistent unmet need. The study population will consist of approximately 150 participants ages 18-65 who report at least a 30% reduction in monthly migraine days from BMPT and still experience an average of ≥ 6 migraine days per month, following International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) criteria. Subjects should be stable on at least 2, but no more than 8, consecutive injection cycles of Botox. Overall migraine day reduction will be assessed in the participants based on participant self-report (via daily electronic diaries) and medical record review.
This mixed-methods pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of iCHART (Interactive CBT for Headache And Relaxation Training), an interactive voice response (IVR) based delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy for Veterans with post-traumatic headache. Participants will receive iCHART treatment through the IVR system over a period of 10 weeks, which will include an automated daily assessment of patient-reported outcomes, retrieval of fortnightly tailored feedback from a study therapist, and additional weekly one-way motivational enhancement messaging. Delivery of traditional evidence-based behavioral treatments for headache management through technology-based interventions, such as IVR may ultimately increase much needed access to these treatments and allow patients to receive care at a time that is convenient for them.
This exploratory open-label phase 1b, ascending dose study is to evaluate the effects of psilocybin on cognition in patients with Chronic Short-Lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform Headache Attacks (SUNHA)
This clinical trial will enroll participants to evaluate the effects of SPG block on post-traumatic headache. The study hypothesizes that patients that receive a SPG block with lidocaine vs. placebo (saline) will have a lower number of headache days in the week following the procedure, and will also report lower symptom scores. Eligible participants will receive one treatment (SPG block) as well as complete surveys prior to and after receiving treatment (for a total of approximately 2 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ganglion sphenopalatine block (SPG block) on persistent headache following acute COVID-19 infection.
This study evaluates a standardized osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) as a treatment for chronic migraine headaches. It will determine the feasibility of enrolling patients in standardized osteopathic manipulative therapy trials, the acceptability of this specific treatment to patients, and evaluate its preliminary effectiveness.
Cluster Headache (CH) is associated with ipsilateral vegetative signs, related to parasympathetic system hyperactivity and/or signs of sympathetic hypoactivity. The precise mechanism of Cluster Headache (CH) is still unknown. The question is whether these dysautonomic disorders are simply secondary to the Cluster Headache (CH) process or whether they are the triggering factor.
The study will enroll patients through the Neurology Department at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD). Eligible participants will meet criteria for chronic migraine, but will not be excluded based on the presence of significant comorbidities. Participants with comorbidities and medication regimens commonly exhibited within real-world DOD medical settings will not be excluded, such as pain disorders, psychiatric illness, medication overuse, and those who have used prophylactic medication during the baseline period. This will comprise "Group A". A carefully screened group will comprise "Group B" and meet exclusion criteria designed to approximate that of the PREEMPT2 trial. Within each group, half of the patients (155U Arm) will be randomly selected to receive the standard 155U over 31 fixed sites every 12 weeks while the other half (100U Arm) will receive 100U over 19 fixed sites every 12 weeks. Minimum sample size for the entire cohort is 132 participants (maximum n = 180), with a minimum of 66 participants per comparison.
This research is being conducting to learn if the study drug erenumab is successful in treating hemicrania continua. The study is also evaluating the safety and tolerability of erenumab in individuals being treated for hemicrania continua.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prophylactic effects of psilocybin in chronic cluster headache. Subjects will receive a low dose of psilocybin during 3 sessions spaced by one week. Subjects will maintain a headache diary prior to, during, and after the administrations in order to document headache frequency, intensity and duration. Subjects will undergo a fMRI scanning before the first and after the last psilocybin session.
