This trial tests a procedure called bilateral middle meningeal artery embolization to see if it reduces chronic migraine symptoms in people who haven't found relief from other treatments. It's for those with frequent, disabling migraines that affect both sides of the head.
This study follows adults who undergo a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization—a minimally invasive treatment that blocks blood flow to a specific artery thought to trigger migraines. The trial simply tracks your symptoms and quality of life before and after the procedure to understand how well it works.
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 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.
