Study for cluster headaches and trigeminal nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at people with certain severe headache disorders (cluster-type headaches or SUNCT/SUNA) or trigeminal neuralgia (sharp facial nerve pain). Researchers want to better understand these conditions and see how study testing/record review may help care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific headache condition like cluster headache, SUNCT, SUNA, hemicrania continua, or trigeminal neuralgia
- You are 18 years or older (for healthy volunteer participation)
- You can sign permission for the study team to access your medical records and imaging
- You can give informed consent (or a legally authorized representative can)
- You do not have a health situation expected to limit life to under 1 year
- No active drug or alcohol problems that would make it hard to follow study steps

This study looks at measurable “pain signals” (biomarkers) in people with certain headache disorders or lumbar nerve pain, and compares them with healthy people. It may help researchers better understand what drives pain and how it can be detected.
This study aims to understand how certain tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) are different in people with cluster headache. It could help find better ways to diagnose or treat this condition.
This study measures nerve activity (electrical signals in nerves) in people who have trigeminal neuralgia and are getting a common facial pain procedure. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future treatments.
This trial tests whether injections of botulinum toxin type A can reduce frequent, severe cluster headache attacks by targeting a facial nerve area. It’s for people whose cluster headaches have not responded well—or have caused side effects—to standard preventive treatments.
This study tracks the daily experiences of people with cluster headaches. It aims to better understand your symptoms and how they affect your life.
This study follows people with trigeminal neuralgia to see how radiosurgery treatment affects their facial pain. It may help doctors better understand who benefits when medicines do not control the pain enough.
