Nerve block vs. pulsed radiofrequency for chronic migraine
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: a nerve block injection and a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency. Both aim to reduce headache days and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: a nerve stimulation procedure called pulsed radiofrequency and Botox injections. Both are known to help some people with chronic migraine, and the goal is to see which one works better at reducing headache days and improving quality of life.
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 whether adding a block of the greater auricular nerve (a nerve near the ear) to the standard occipital nerve block (at the back of the head) provides more relief for chronic migraine than the occipital block alone. Both are simple injections guided by ultrasound, and the goal is to reduce headache days and intensity.
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 for chronic migraine: botulinum toxin injections and a nerve block at the back of the head. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce headache days and improve quality of life.
This study tests a treatment that uses a small device to send mild electrical pulses to nerves at the back of the head, which may help reduce migraine attacks. It is for people with chronic migraine that has not improved with other treatments.
