Comparing nerve treatments for chronic migraine
Treatments studied
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of chronic migraine (headaches at least 15 days per month for more than 3 months).
- You must have tried at least one standard preventive migraine medication without success.

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 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.
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 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 trial tests a treatment called occipital nerve stimulation, which uses a device to send gentle electric pulses to nerves at the back of your head. The goal is to see if it can help people who have not found relief from other migraine treatments.
This trial tests whether using both a CGRP antibody and Botox together works better than the CGRP antibody alone for chronic migraine. It may help if you have not tried these treatments before.
