Comparing nerve block and Botox for chronic migraine
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: a nerve block (injection near the nerves in the head) and Botox injections. It aims to see which one works better to reduce headache days and improve quality of life.

This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: a nerve block (sphenopalatine block) and Botox injections. It aims to see which one works better for reducing headache days.
This trial tests two treatments—botulinum toxin injections and nerve blocks in the neck—to reduce migraine frequency in people who have migraines on 15 or more days per month. Either or both treatments may help prevent migraines.
This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: injecting Botox (a nerve relaxant) versus a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency that uses energy to calm nerves in the head. It aims to find which one better reduces headache days.
This study compares two nerve block treatments for chronic migraine pain. One group gets a single nerve block in the back of the head, while the other gets nerve blocks in the back of the head and behind the ear. This will help see if adding the second injection offers more pain relief.
This Phase 3 study compares two headache injections—Botox and Xeomin—for people with chronic migraine. It may help find out which option works better to reduce frequent, long-lasting migraine days.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for chronic migraines: a nerve block injection and pulsed radiofrequency (a heat-based procedure). Both aim to reduce migraine frequency in people whose medications haven't worked well enough.
