NCT ID: NCT01464983 Completed - Headache Clinical Trials

Placebo and Active Controlled, Double Dummy Study to Compare Efficacy of Aspirin and Ibuprofen in Treatment of Episodic Tension-type Headache

Start date: January 2004
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and tolerability of 500 mg and 1000 mg Aspirin® (study medication) by comparing it to placebo (the control group without active substance) or 200 mg or 400 mg Ibuprofen (study medication) in treating the symptoms of episodic tension-type headache. The study is designed to develop a treatment method against episodic tension-type headache which will have more advantages for patients than the methods that are currently available.

NCT ID: NCT01362491 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Ibuprofen Sodium Tension Headache Study

Start date: June 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare the ability of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to relieve pain compared to placebo and standard ibuprofen in the treatment of tension-type headache

NCT ID: NCT01244555 Completed - Clinical trials for Tension-type Headache

Muscle Treatment for Management of Pain & Disability in Tension-type Headache

Start date: April 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatments (massage therapy or ultrasound) directed at skeletal muscle for alleviating pain associated wtih tension headache.

NCT ID: NCT01155557 Completed - Clinical trials for Tension-Type Headache

The Effect of Specific Strength-Training on Tension-Type Headache in Children 9-17 Years

Start date: August 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims at examining muscle strength capacity in neck and shoulder muscles in children and adolescents with and without tension-type headache, and furthermore examining the effect of a 10 week specific strength training programme for neck and shoulder muscles compared to a multi-disciplinary approach in 10 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT01077973 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Study Evaluating A Novel Ibuprofen Formulation In Episodic Tension-Type Headache

Start date: March 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare the ability of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to relieve pain compared to placebo and standard ibuprofen in the treatment of episodic tension-type headache.

NCT ID: NCT01011673 Completed - Headache Clinical Trials

Metoclopramide Versus Ketorolac for Tension-type Headache

Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Occasionally, episodic tension-type headache may be severe enough to require an emergency department (ED) visit. The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used medications to see which is better for tension type headache. Patients who present to the ED with an acute tension-type headache requiring treatment with injectable medication will be randomized to metoclopramide or ketorolac.

NCT ID: NCT00551980 Completed - Migraine Clinical Trials

The Efficacy of a Cognitive and Physical Intervention to Reduce Head and Muscle Pain in a Working Community

Start date: October 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study is a controlled, cluster randomised, interventional trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace cognitive and physical program (Intervention), in reducing the frequency of head and neck pain in an extensive working population.

NCT ID: NCT00449787 Completed - Migraine Clinical Trials

Comparing Naproxen to Sumatriptan for Emergency Headache Patients

HEDNet2
Start date: March 2007
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

2/3 of patients discharged from an emergency department after treatment for an acute headache will still be bothered by headache within 24 hours of emergency department (ED) treatment. The goal of this study is to compare two medications, naproxen and sumatriptan, to determine which is better for the treatment of recurrent headache within 24 hours of emergency department discharge.

NCT ID: NCT00315666 Completed - Clinical trials for Tension-Type Headache

Prophylactic Effect of Memantine in Chronic Tension-Type Headache

Start date: May 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test whether memantine has a prophylactic effect on chronic tension-type headaches.

NCT ID: NCT00018811 Completed - Migraine Clinical Trials

Psychological Assessment and Treatment of Chronic Benign Headache

Start date: April 1999
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Subjects with chronic migraine or tension headaches will receive 12 sessions of biofeedback or relaxation training after fulfilling screening, intake interviews, & psychological testing requirements. They will chart headache pain, anger level, & medication usage throughout baseline, treatment, and 3 month follow-up periods. Migraine sufferers will receive a combination of progressive muscle relaxation training and thermal biofeedback (learning to warm hands). Subjects are randomly assigned to receive treatment either in the office with the therapist or from another room (where communication will be over a computer). The research is designed to compare the effectiveness of treatment based on location. Tension headache sufferers will receive training in how to reduce their muscle tension levels. They will be randomly assigned to have equipment monitor muscle tension levels either in the forehead or shoulder regions. The research is designed to compare the effectiveness of feedback to the forehead versus the shoulder muscles.
