Nerve stimulation for chronic cluster headache prevention
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a device that stimulates nerves on your face and the back of your head can prevent chronic cluster headaches. It may offer a new treatment option if you have had cluster headaches for at least a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older and willing to give consent

This study is testing a new device that uses mild electrical stimulation near the back of the head to prevent cluster headaches. It is for people with chronic cluster headaches that are hard to treat with standard medicines.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether repeated injections can reduce attacks of chronic cluster headache. It may help people who have frequent, consistent attacks and can track them closely during the study.
This trial studies whether stimulating a nerve in the back of the head can reduce chronic cluster-like or related headache attacks. It’s for people whose headaches did not improve after trying several standard prevention treatments.
This trial tests whether injections of botulinum toxin type A can reduce frequent, severe cluster headache attacks by targeting a facial nerve area. It’s for people whose cluster headaches have not responded well—or have caused side effects—to standard preventive treatments.
This trial tests a new implantable device that uses mild electrical pulses to prevent migraines. It is for people who have tried at least three migraine prevention medicines without success and still have frequent migraines.
This trial tests a device called MySalvia that is implanted in the head to reduce migraine attacks. It is for people whose migraines have not improved with at least three different preventive treatments.
