Can a Specific OMT Protocol Influence Patient Pain and Associated Analgesia Use for Primary Headache Disorders?
Description

The purpose of this study is to see if osteopathic manipulation or light touch can reduce either or both frequency of headaches or use of pain medication. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) has been shown to help headache symptoms. The investigators like to see if regular OMT sessions can help reduce headache discomfort and also reduce use of pain medication like over-the-counter medications, migraine medications, and opioids. In this randomized controlled trial, a set sequence of OMT will be compared to light touch sham protocol. Investigators will compare participant responses to questionnaires that assess items including pain levels and reported pain medication use for the course of the study period to see if there are any shifts.

Assessing the Diagnostic Accuracy of an On-line Questionnaire for Diagnosis of Primary Headache Disorders
Description

Purpose of the study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of an on- line questionnaire in comparison to a semi-structured interview administered by a trained interviewer.

TERMINATED
A Prospective Observational Registry of Primary Headache Patients Treated With Ausanil
Description

This study is an observational study with the primary objective to assess the safety and tolerability of Ausanil in the treatment of primary headache disorders. The secondary objective is to assess headache pain, functional outcome, time loss to headache and patient satisfaction with Ausanil treatment.

COMPLETED
Comparing Naproxen to Sumatriptan for Emergency Headache Patients
Description

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.

TERMINATED
Paracervical Injection for Headache in the Emergency Department
Description

Headache is one of the most common presenting complaints in the emergency department.1 By the time patients with benign headaches present for treatment in the ED, they often have exhausted non-invasive treatments, and physicians are left with few therapeutic options. The investigators therefore propose to study the use of paracervical injection as a novel approach to managing headache in the emergency department. This procedure has great potential, if efficacious, to provide a safe, rapidly effective, non-sedating treatment for headache that does not involve intravenous line placement and systemic medication administration. To date, there are no published trials that evaluate this technique in this setting. The investigators intend to compare the efficacy of paracervical injection to standard first-line therapy (intravenous prochlorperazine and diphenhydramine) for the treatment of benign headache of any etiology in the emergency department.

TERMINATED
Predicting Migraine Attacks Based on Environmental and Behavioral Changes as Detected From the Smartphone
Description

This study is conducted at the Henry Ford Health System with Lifegraph's behavioral monitoring technology, to examine the relation between migraine attacks and behavioral and environmental changes as detected from the smartphone sensors. The investigators hypothesize that Lifegraph's technology can predict the occurrence of migraine attacks with high precision.

COMPLETED
Individualized Prediction of Migraine Attacks Using a Mobile Phone App and Fitbit
Description

This trial is collaboration between Mayo Clinic, Second Opinion Health (Simon Bloch, simon@somobilehealth.com 408-981-3814) and Allergan. Mayo Clinic investigators are conducting the clinical trial, Second Opinion Health is providing the software for use in the trial (Migraine Alert app for data collection, analysis and machine learning algorithms), and Allergan is providing funding. The investigators hypothesize that the use of a mobile phone app and Fitbit wearable to collect daily headache diary data, exposure/trigger data and physiologic data will predict the occurrence of migraine attacks with high accuracy. The objective of the trial is to assess the ability to use daily exposure/trigger and symptom data, as well as physiologic data (collected by Fitbit) to create individual predictive migraine models to accurately predict migraine attacks in individual patients via a mobile phone app.

WITHDRAWN
The Impact of Triptan and Doxycycline on Neuroinflammatory Biomarkers in Acute Migraine
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of triptans and doxycycline on neuroinflammatory markers in acute migraine.

COMPLETED
A Study of LY2951742 (Galcanezumab) in Participants With Cluster Headache
Description

The main purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of galcanezumab administered up to once monthly in participants with episodic or chronic cluster headache who have completed study I5Q-MC-CGAL (NCT02397473) or study I5Q-MC-CGAM (NCT02438826).

RECRUITING
Assessing Symptom and Mood Dynamics in Pain Using the Smartphone Application SOMA
Description

This study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These sub-study participants will first take part in one in-person EEG testing session while completing simple interoception and reinforcement learning tasks and then begin daily use of the SOMA app. Electrophysiologic and behavioral data from the EEG testing session will be used to determine predictors of treatment response in the sub-study.
