Nerve block injections for episodic migraine pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether nerve block injections can reduce pain from episodic migraines. It may help some people who get frequent migraine attacks but are not also using certain migraine preventions or strong pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a nerve block injection at the back of the head to see if it can reduce migraines in people who also have headaches from overusing pain medication. It aims to provide a new treatment option for this difficult-to-treat condition.
This trial tests a procedure that uses targeted pulses of energy and a special blood-platelet solution to calm a specific nerve cluster at the back of the nose, which may reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headache attacks. It is for people whose headaches have not improved enough with standard preventive medicines.
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.
