37 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The objective of this study is to survey patients with cluster headache about treatment effectiveness and their views on treatments. Participants will complete one brief questionnaire online.
Historically, participation in clinical studies is highly skewed towards particular demographic groups of people. This research will invite several participants to gather a wide range of information on clinical trial experiences for cluster headache patients. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that limit the ability of a person to enroll in, as well as complete a clinical trial for treatment of cluster headache. The data collected from this study will help improve future outcomes for all cluster headache patients as well as those in under-represented demographic groups.
The purpose of this research is to explore the efficacy of rimegepant as a preventative therapy for cluster headache.
The main goal of this trial is to inform about long-term safety and tolerability of eptinezumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
Role of a neuroma of zygomatic-temporal in triggering of a cluster headache. Exploratory diagnosis, resection, and pathological examination of tumor anticipated .
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of eptinezumab in participants with episodic Cluster Headache (eCH)
This study intends to investigate the use of high-dose Vitamin D3 plus a multivitamin in the prevention of cluster headache attacks. Participants can be enrolled anywhere in the United States that has access to one of our participating labs (for blood work - anticipated to be available in most of the USA). The study may include: * Screening: Participants may be interviewed, examined, fill out surveys, and get blood testing * Week 1: baseline period (no added medications - to establish a baseline) * Weeks 2-4: double-blinded experimental period - participants receive either 1) high-dose Vitamin D3 + multivitamin, or 2) placebo + multivitamin. Participants also fill out a survey and have blood testing. * Weeks 5-7: open-label period - ALL participants receive high-dose Vitamin D3 + multivitamin. Participants also fill out a survey and may have blood testing. Specifically, our primary outcome is the change from baseline to experimental weeks 1-3 in the frequency of cluster headache attacks between placebo and high-dose vitamin D. Specific primary and secondary outcomes are listed below.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Subjects who meet the entry criteria will be randomized o receive one of three blinded treatments \[C213 1.9 mg patch and placebo patch; C213 3.8 mg (1.9 mg x 2 patches), two placebo patches\] on Day 1 and will have up to 48 weeks to confirm and treat a cluster headache. Subjects will self-administer the patches and respond to questions in the electronic diary (eDiary) until 1-hour post treatment administration.
This is a 68-week study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of fremanezumab in participants with cluster headache (CH). Participants who complete the pivotal studies TV48125-CNS-30056 (NCT02945046) and TV48125-CNS-30057 (NCT02964338) and enroll into the current study will visit the investigational center for investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration, safety and efficacy assessments, and blood and urine collections for pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity (anti-drug antibodies \[ADAs\]), and biomarker analyses. Participants will return to the investigational center for a follow-up visit to evaluate ADAs, fremanezumab concentrations, biomarkers, and safety (adverse events and concomitant medications) approximately 7.5 months after the last dose of IMP.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an oral psilocybin pulse regimen in cluster headache. Subjects will be randomized to receive oral placebo, low dose psilocybin, or high dose psilocybin in three experimental sessions, each separated by 5 days. Subjects will maintain a headache diary prior to, during, and after the pulse regimen in order to document headache frequency and intensity before, during, and after the pulse regimen. After at least 6 months from the last experimental session, subjects may be invited for a second round, in which they will be randomized to receive either low dose or high dose psilocybin.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fremanezumab (TEV-48125), in the prevention of CCH in adult participants.

This is an open label, investigator-sponsored, pilot study. Subjects agreeing to participate in the study and meeting the eligibility criteria assessed at the screening visit will be enrolled in the study. The length of time between screening and treatment will last between 0 days to a maximum of 12 weeks. Subjects who enter the screening phase during a cluster headache episode and meet the study eligibility criteria can immediately enter the treatment phase and may opt to treat their cluster headache episode in the clinic. Subjects who are not in a cluster headache episode, who meet initial screening eligibility criteria, can remain in the screening phase for up to 12 weeks until their next cluster episode begins. Upon initiation of a cluster headache episode, subjects will enter the treatment period. Subjects will be trained on the proper use of the hand-held dispenser containing carbon dioxide (CO2 )calibrated to deliver 0.5 standard liters per minute (SLPM). This dispenser will be provided for use in the clinic or home. Subjects will be instructed to use the nasal CO2 dispenser, 10 seconds/nostril, as needed up to 6 times to treat one attack. Each dose must be separated by 3-5 minutes. Subjects should treat only one attack in a 24-hour period. Subjects may treat up to three cluster headache attacks during the treatment phase of this study. One hour after the first dose, subjects can choose to treat with investigator-approved rescue medication. Subjects will be asked to complete an online diary after the completion of the dosing. Diary assessments will collect pain severity, nasal CO2 usage, acute medication usage, satisfaction of treatment, number of cluster attacks, and unusual symptoms. Subjects will be contacted by phone within 3 days of the first use of the nasal CO2 dispenser to assess adverse events (AEs) and medication usage. A total of 25 subjects will enter the treatment period and be instructed to treat up to 3 cluster headaches with nasal CO2. Within 7 days of treating their last cluster headache episode, subjects will return for an end of study visit.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of SPG stimulation with the ATI Neurostimulation System when used to treat acute cluster attacks in chronic cluster headache patients.
Multi-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled pivotal study of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation with the GammaCore® device for the acute treatment of cluster headache. The study compares the safety and effectiveness of an active treatment (GammaCore) against a sham treatment.
Cluster headache is a disorder marked by frequent attacks of short-lasting, severe, unilateral head pain with associated autonomic symptoms. It is the most severe head pain syndrome known. Currently, the two most common treatments for cluster headaches are inhaled oxygen and injectable sumatriptan. These treatments do not work for all cluster headache patients, and patients who smoke may eventually develop contraindication to triptans. New treatment options are needed. An alternative method of oxygen delivery (as opposed to continuous flow) uses a demand valve that is controlled by respiration rate, allowing increased oxygen flow in response to increased demand. This system may be more efficacious at stopping a cluster headache attack than the currently prescribed oxygen delivery system. This study will compare the effectiveness of oxygen delivered via demand valve versus continuous high flow oxygen via non-rebreather face mask in the acute treatment of a cluster headache attack. All patients will treat one cluster headache with each of the 2 treatment methods.
This study's hypothesis is the 4mg StatDose sumatriptan is effective for the acute treatment of cluster headache and provides good safety and tolerability across multiple doses of the study medication as well as across multiple attacks of cluster headache. This study seeks to determine the safety and efficacy of the commercially available 4mg StatDose formulation of sumatriptan as an acute treatment of cluster headache. Patients are allowed to use repeated dose of the study medication for a given headache if they have had a partial response to the first dose. They may treat up to 3 attacks of cluster headache with the study medication. Safety assessment will be through adverse event reporting and physical examination. Patients with both episodic cluster headache as well as chronic cluster headache will be studied. Patients must either not have started preventive treatment for cluster headache or be on a stable dose of preventive medication.
This is a research study examining cutaneous allodynia and cluster headaches. Cutaneous allodynia means the feeling of pain or unpleasant sensation when normally non-painful stimuli (e.g. light touch) are applied to the skin. Many studies have been performed looking at the presence of cutaneous allodynia in patients with migraines; however, few studies have examined it in cluster headache patients. There is still much to be learned about the brain and how it functions if the investigators are to understand the underlying causes of cluster headache. It is important to explore cutaneous allodynia in cluster headache as it may help guide physicians with the care of these individuals. Sixty patients will be screened for this study. Thomas Jefferson University is the only center enrolling patients in this research study.
The purpose of this study is to collect and evaluate information on the use of Depakote Extended Release (ER) and Depacon Intravenous (IV) in patients with cluster headaches. Patients who are currently in a cluster cycle will be treated with 2 consecutive days of IV Depacon followed by oral Depakote ER. Patients will receive a total of 1,000mg of Depacon and 1,000mg of Depakote ER each day. Patients may have a 3rd day of IV Depacon followed by oral Depakote ER if the primary investigator believes it to be beneficial. The patient is then sent home on oral Depakote ER. The dose of Depakote ER can range from 500mg to 2,000mg this dose is to be determined by the primary investigator. The patient will continue the oral Depakote ER until the end of their cluster cycle or for a maximum of 6 weeks, which ever comes first.
Topiramate is a medication that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with seizures. The trade name for this drug is Topamax®. Topiramate has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of cluster headache and is experimental for the purposes of this research study. If a subject participates in this study, he/she will increase his/her dose of topiramate rapidly in the first few weeks to try to stop the cluster attacks and then will continue on a maintenance dose of topiramate in order to determine if it can prevent attacks from occurring during that cluster period. We believe that this will lead not only to a faster but a more complete remission of the cluster period.
This is a 49-day study to evaluate the effectiveness of Intranasal Civamide (Zucapsaicin) in the treatment of an episodic cluster headache period compared to placebo (medically inactive substance which does not contain any active ingredients).

Chronic headaches are associated with changes in brain structure and function that may be associated with increased suffering and disability. Understanding how Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) affects these changes would reveal new insight into how the brain processes pain and returns to normal function. Also, demonstrating these changes would provide evidence regarding how OMT causes a reduction in pain and disability, supporting the recommendation for OMT as a primary treatment option for headaches.
The purpose of this study is to determine if droperidol is equally as effective as metoclopramide for treatment of primary headaches in the Emergency Department.
