This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into a small artery in the face (the external carotid artery) can help people with hard-to-treat chronic migraines or persistent face/skull pain. It is for those who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that blocks a blood vessel in the brain to reduce migraine attacks. It may help people who have frequent migraines and haven't found relief with standard migraine medications.
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 trial tests injecting lidocaine into a specific artery to treat severe migraines. It aims to see if this can stop headache pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
This trial tests if a combination of ketamine and lidocaine given through an IV can help people with constant, hard-to-treat migraines. It aims to find a new relief option for those who haven't improved with other treatments.
This study tests whether a lidocaine infusion (given through an IV) can safely reduce severe headaches after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of brain bleed). You may qualify if you had a spontaneous bleed and can communicate your pain level.
