What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary endpoint will be the comparison of the rate of headache-free patients, fourteen days after medication withdrawal, in both groups (GONS versus sham)

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. number of headache days during the 14 days withdrawal period

    Measured: 14 days

  2. maximal intensity and duration of rebound headache

    Measured: 14 days

  3. rescue medication used

    Measured: 14 days

  4. withdrawal facility perceived by the patient

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing great occipital nerve stimulation in people with HEADACHE, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary endpoint will be the comparison of the rate of headache-free patients, fourteen days after medication withdrawal, in both groups (GONS versus sham) (time frame: 14 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Mar 2024.
