Ultrasound-guided nerve block for migraine prevention
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You have migraine headaches (either episodic or chronic) and need a preventive treatment.
- You are willing to try the nerve block injection as your first choice for prevention, or you have tried other preventives and still have issues like frequent attacks, severe pain, side effects, or financial concerns.
- You do not have another type of headache (like cervicogenic headache or occipital neuralgia) alongside migraine.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics, have no skin infection at the injection site, and have no untreated psychiatric disorder in the last 3 months.
- You can read, write, and understand Thai.

This trial tests whether a nerve-blocking injection in the back of the head can help people with migraine who are taking too much headache medication. The injection uses a steroid and local anesthetic to reduce nerve signals that cause migraine pain.
This study tests two power levels of a pulsed radiofrequency treatment aimed at a nerve cluster behind your cheekbone to reduce chronic migraine pain. If you have frequent migraines that haven't responded well to two or more preventive medications, this could be an option for you.
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.
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.
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided heat (radiofrequency ablation) on the occipital nerve can reduce headache pain. It is for people with occipital neuralgia or migraine pain at the back of the head who haven't had enough relief from oral medications.
This study tests new ways to monitor how well preventive migraine treatments are working. It is for people with chronic migraine who may be starting or already using preventive medications.
