Study of a new device for frequent tension headaches
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This pilot study tests a device approach (“Osteo-Fluidic-Sensitive”) for people who get frequent episodic tension-type headaches. It aims to see whether the device is safe and can reduce headache burden for the right kind of headache pattern.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have frequent episodic tension-type headaches (2 to 14 headache days per month)
- Your headaches must be either plain tension-type or sometimes have features of migraine, based on standard headache definitions
- You must have filled out your headache diary for the month before starting the study
- You must be able to understand the study and sign consent; you also need health insurance

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new device that uses mild electrical stimulation near the back of the head to prevent cluster headaches. It is for people with chronic cluster headaches that are hard to treat with standard medicines.
This study examines how sensitive the skin and tissues around the head are in people with migraines or tension headaches. Researchers will perform gentle touch and pressure tests to understand pain patterns, which may help improve headache treatment in the future.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), guided by magnetoencephalography (MEG), can help people with frequent migraines or tension-type headaches. If you have headaches 15 or more days per month, this treatment might reduce your pain.
This study tests a combination of physical therapy exercises and a mobile app that guides meditation to see if it helps reduce tension-type headaches in adults. If you have frequent or chronic tension headaches, this might be a helpful non-drug approach.
This trial tests whether hands-on osteopathic treatment can help reduce migraines. If you're an adult aged 18–50 with frequent migraines, you might benefit from seeing if this non-drug approach eases your symptoms.
This trial tests whether specific physical therapy treatments—exercise, manual soft-tissue work, mobilization, and electrical dry needling/TENS—can reduce tension-type headaches. It may help if your headaches happen often and fit the trial’s “frequent” or “chronic” pattern.
