This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (an injection near the back of the head) can help prevent migraine headaches in adults who either haven't tried prevention before or have had trouble with standard medications.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether repeated injections can reduce attacks of chronic cluster headache. It may help people who have frequent, consistent attacks and can track them closely during the study.
This study tests if injecting medication into specific painful spots in your muscles (called trigger points) can help reduce chronic migraine pain. It may be an option if you've tried other treatments but still have significant pain.
This study tests whether a numbing spray applied inside the nose before Botox injections can reduce injection pain in people with chronic migraine. The goal is to make the treatment more comfortable without affecting how well it works.
