Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this research is to investigate the effects of virtual reality technology on the treatment of migraine-type headaches and assess how this technology may impact the severity, frequency, and duration of headaches.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a non-randomized controlled prospective study with the primary objective of investigating the effects of virtual reality technology on the treatment of migraine-type headaches and assessing how this technology can potentially influence the severity, frequency, and duration of headaches. Additionally, the study aims to analyze the impact of virtual reality technology on the neurological and psychological components of headaches, evaluate potential improvements in the quality of life for migraine patients undergoing virtual reality therapy, monitor the long-term effects of virtual reality in migraine treatment, and assess its sustainability. The study is divided into two arms, labeled as Arm 1 and Arm 2, with randomization being carried out by the principal investigator. All patients consenting to participate in the study will receive a standard treatment of 150 cc normal saline containing arveles (50 mg dexketoprofen), and no patient will be left untreated. One group will receive only the standard treatment (control group), while the other group will receive both the standard treatment and, in addition, virtual reality therapy consisting of a virtual environment simulating moonlight by the dark seaside or a campfire ambiance with classical music (calm, slow, and soothing) using virtual reality goggles. Prior to medication administration (0.min) and at 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes, patients' VAS scores will be recorded. Adult patients diagnosed with migraines who have agreed to participate in the study will be included. Patients will be eligible to participate in the study if they meet specific inclusion criteria. The severity of pain in patients diagnosed with migraines and the effectiveness of treatments used for migraine attacks will constitute the dependent variables of the study. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
