Nerve Block vs. Radio Treatment for Chronic Migraines
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic migraines (lasting more than 3 months) with 15 or more migraine days per month
- Your migraines haven't improved enough with standard medications
- You don't have a secondary headache disorder (a headache caused by another condition)
- You have no active infection at the injection site on your neck or head
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have not had cervical spine surgery or prior occipital nerve treatments within the last 3 months

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 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 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 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 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 tests if injecting medication into specific painful spots in your muscles (called trigger points) can help reduce chronic migraine pain. It may be an option if you've tried other treatments but still have significant pain.
