What is being measured

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

  1. Time to headache resolution

    Time to headache resolution in emergency department

    Measured: treatment start to patient reported resolution, up to 6 hours

  2. ED Length of stay

    treatment to discharge

    Measured: Registration to discharge up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patient satisfaction: Rated on a Likert 100 millimeter scale

    Patient satisfaction as determined by whether they would absolutely want treatment again (score=100), or would absolutely prefer another method (score = 0), or something in between (any mark along the 100 millimeter line)

    Measured: Within 6 hours from ED registration

  2. 24 hr follow up

    Presence of headache at 24 hrs

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Number of participants with treatment induced side effects

    Recording appearance of any side effects in ED or within 24 hr follow up, such as nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, seizure, or prolonged (greater than 6hrs) numbness.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Determine adequacy of blinding

    Determine whether treating physicians or patients can guess treatment arm (IN or IV arm) by simply asking the blinded patient and clinician which method they think the patient underwent. Measured by guessing one or the other arm.

    Measured: Asked at time of patient discharge from the emergency department or at 1 hr.

A Phase 3 study testing Lidocaine topical and Prochlorperazine Injection in people with Migraine in Children and Sphenopalatine Neuralgia, run by Newark Beth Israel Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Adam Sivitz, MD (973 926 2484, adam.sivitz@rwjbh.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to headache resolution (time frame: treatment start to patient reported resolution, up to 6 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Nov 2021.
