Lidocaine injection for chronic migraine pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.

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.
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) and steroids into the artery that covers the brain can help reduce pain after a brain bleed. It may be an option for people with a specific type of bleeding who have not had certain brain surgeries or procedures.
This study tests whether a numbing spray applied inside the nose can relieve ongoing migraine pain. It may help people who have both migraines and sinus-like pressure or pain.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine through an IV can prevent the headache that sometimes happens after spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. If you are having a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia and meet other health requirements, this study might help reduce your risk of post-procedure headache.
This trial tests if a lidocaine infusion into an artery in the head can reduce severe chronic daily headaches. It is for people who have tried multiple treatments without enough relief.
This study tests whether giving two pain-relieving medicines, ketamine and lidocaine, through an IV can help adults with chronic migraine that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this treatment reduces migraine pain and improves daily life.
