Ultrasound-guided neck injection for treating chronic migraine
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block injection near the neck (called stellate ganglion block), guided by ultrasound, can reduce chronic migraine pain. It may be a good option if you have chronic migraine and haven't found relief from standard preventive medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need a formal diagnosis of chronic migraine (15+ headache days per month for at least 3 months).
- You either have not tried any migraine-prevention drugs, or you have tried up to 3 types (like metoprolol, propranolol, amitriptyline, or flunarizine) and they didn't work or caused side effects.
- You cannot have had a stellate ganglion block before.
- You must not have any other neurological disorders, serious heart/lung/liver/kidney problems, bleeding issues, or an active infection near the injection site.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must be willing to sign a consent form.

This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: a nerve block procedure called pulsed radiofrequency (using a special needle to calm nerves in the head) versus Botox injections. The goal is to see which one works better at reducing headache days and pain.

This study tests whether injections into muscle trigger points can reduce chronic headache pain that starts in the neck. It may help people who have not found relief from standard pain medications.
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 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.
