NCT ID: NCT02138474 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Tension-type Headaches

The Efficacy of Lacticum Acidum Homaccord in the Treatment of Chronic Tension-type Headaches

Start date: April 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Chronic tension-type headaches (CTTHs) affect 30-40% of the population and account for a number of absences from, and decreased performances at, work and school as well as recreational activities. CTTHs typically occur at least 15 times a month or at least every second day, and present as an achy or tight sensation that is felt around the head . The pain may last from 30 minutes to several days and varies in intensity . Conventional treatment is palliative, consisting of analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which may produce adverse effects and analgesic rebound headaches . Lacticum acidum 30CH is a homoeopathic remedy that has been shown to have potential benefits in the treatment of CTTHs . Homaccords are the preparation of one remedy in multiple increasing potencies in a single vehicle . There has been no research done to date on Lacticum acidum Homaccord in the treatment of CTTHs.The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Lacticum acidum Homaccord in the treatment of chronic tension-type headaches, using the modified Headache Diary and the Headache Disability Inventory.

NCT ID: NCT02115269 Completed - Clinical trials for Migraine Without Aura

IndoProCaf Effervescent Tablets Effectiveness in Acute Treatment of Migraine and/or Episodic Tension-type Headache and Patients' Satisfaction With the Treatment in Routine Clinical Practice

PRESTO
Start date: June 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Headaches are a common medical problem that physicians frequently encounter in their practice. One of key findings of The Atlas of Headache Disorders prepared by World Health Organization (WHO) is: headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headache (TTH), are among the most prevalent disorders of mankind. The fixed combination of indomethacin, prochlorperazine and caffeine (IndoProCaf) showed efficacy and safety in acute treatment of migraine and episodic tension-type headache attacks. IndoProCaf (Difmetre®) is widely used in common daily practice only in Italy from early 1970s, is available at the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) pharmaceutical market now. There are limited data regarding IndoProCaf usage from post-marketing settings. This will be a first post-marketing observational study which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and patients' satisfaction of primary headaches acute treatment in routine clinical settings in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

NCT ID: NCT01601015 Completed - Clinical trials for Tension-type Headache

Effectiveness of the Treatment of Tension-type Headache With Manual and Manipulative Therapy

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background. Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common form of primary headache and it is a real problem for the subjects suffering from it. Until now, physiotherapy treatments have included different techniques combined together, without establishing which of them is more effective. Objective. The purpose of this study is to know the effectiveness of manipulative and manual therapy treatments, with regard to pain perception and neck mobility in patients with tension-type headache. Methods: A double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted, with 84 patients diagnosed with tension-type headache, divided into three treatment groups -manual therapy, manipulative therapy, and a combination of both techniques-, and a placebo control group. Four treatment sessions were administered during four weeks, with post-treatment assessment, and follow-up at one month. Cervical ranges of motion were assessed (CROM device), as well as pain perception (McGill Pain Questionnaire), and frequency and intensity of headaches (weekly register).

NCT ID: NCT01552798 Terminated - Headache Clinical Trials

Tarot Headache
Start date: March 12, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this trial is to determine if a single, oral dose of a fast release aspirin 1000 mg provides relief compared to acetaminophen 1000 mg and placebo in subjects with tension-type headache pain.

NCT ID: NCT01550276 Completed - Clinical trials for Tension-type Headache

Treatment of Tension-type Headache With Articulatory and Suboccipital Soft Tissue Therapy

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background. Headache is one of the most common causes of consultation in primary health care and neurology in Europe. Cervical muscle tension can maintain a restriction of joint motion at the suboccipital level, facilitating the referred head pain. Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of two manual therapy treatments for tension-type headache. Methods. A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted, for a period of 4 weeks and a follow-up at one month post-treatment. Eighty-four patients with tension-type headache were assigned to 4 groups (3 treatment groups and 1 control group). Treatments included manual therapy of suboccipital soft tissue inhibition, occiput-atlas-axis global manipulation, and a combination of both techniques. Outcome measures were: impact of headache, disability caused by headache, ranges of motion of the craniocervical junction, frequency and intensity of headache, and associated headache symptoms. Results. After 8 weeks, there were significant improvements in impact of headache (p=0.01), disability (p=0.001), and craniocervical flexion (p=0.03) for the suboccipital soft tissue inhibition group; in headache impact and disability (p=0.000), pain intensity (p=0.02) and craniocervical flexion (p=0.004) and extension (p=0.04) for the occiput-atlas-axis group; and in impact (p=0.002), functional disability (p=0.000), headache frequency (p=0.002) and intensity (p=0.001), craniocervical flexion (p=0.008) and extension (p=0.003) and associated headache symptoms (p=0.01) for the combined therapy group, with effect sizes from medium to large. Conclusions. Occiput-atlas-axis and combined therapy group treatments are more effective than suboccipital soft tissue inhibition for tension-type headache. The treatment with suboccipital soft tissue inhibition, despite producing less significant results, also has positive effects on different aspects of headache.

NCT ID: NCT01509326 Unknown status - Migraine Headache Clinical Trials

Chiropractic and Acupressure for Headaches

Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will investigate the effect of chiropractic treatment with and without the use of an acupressure pillow for cervical headaches. Subjects will be randomly allocated to groups with and without the pillow and will be followed for five weeks. The primary outcome measure will be headache frequency. The investigators predict that the group using the pillow on a daily basis will demonstrate significantly greater decrease in headache frequency over a 5-week interval.
