Study of worsening headaches using scans and blood testing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at why headaches can become long-lasting (“chronified”) by combining answers from online questionnaires, brain imaging, and blood protein tests. Your participation may help researchers find biological clues that could improve how headache problems are understood and treated.

This study looks at how a type of immune cell (regulatory T cells) might help control migraine attacks. Researchers want to understand if your immune system plays a role in keeping migraines under control.
This trial looks at the chemical changes in the blood of people with migraine. It aims to better understand the disease and may help find new treatments. You may qualify if you have episodic or chronic migraine and have not tried CGRP-targeting drugs.
This study looks for new biological markers in people whose migraines don't respond to standard treatments. It aims to better understand why some migraines are hard to treat and may help guide future therapies.
This study uses brain scans (PET) to look at how the body’s “opioid” pain system works in people with migraine. It may help researchers understand migraine biology and test approaches that could improve migraine treatment.
This study tests different behavioral (non-medication) approaches to help manage chronic migraine. You'll work with researchers to find which approach works best for you, with the option to switch strategies if needed.
This trial studies whether cannabis can reduce chronic migraine headaches in adolescents who have not improved with other treatments. It also asks participants to work with psychology and physiotherapy during the study.
