										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is looking at <b>chronic cluster headache</b>, a condition where people experience severe headaches that occur in patterns or clusters over time. The treatment being tested is <b>candesartan</b>, a medication that is normally used to treat high blood pressure but is being studied here to see if it can help prevent cluster headache attacks. Participants will receive either candesartan at a dose of 32 milligrams or placebo during different phases of the study. The purpose of the study is to see if candesartan can reduce how often severe and very severe cluster headache attacks happen compared to placebo.</p>
<p>The study is designed as a crossover trial, which means that participants will receive both the active medication and placebo at different times, with periods in between where no study medication is given to wash out the previous treatment. The study begins with a two-week period where participants keep track of their headache attacks in a diary before starting any treatment. Then participants will go through two four-week treatment periods where they take either candesartan or placebo, with the order being randomly assigned. Between these treatment periods there is a wash-out phase. After completing these phases, there is an optional open treatment period where participants may continue with candesartan.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will record their headache attacks, including how severe they are and how often they occur. The study will measure changes in the number of severe and very severe attacks per week, how many people experience at least a 50 percent reduction in attacks, and changes in headache intensity. Other measurements include how much rescue medication participants need to use, improvements in quality of life and disability related to cluster headaches, and overall impression of improvement. The study will also monitor for any side effects and changes in mood or suicidal thoughts using specific questionnaires.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is looking at <b>episodic cluster headache</b>, a condition where people experience severe headache attacks that occur in patterns or cycles called bouts. The treatment being tested is <b>candesartan</b>, a medication that is normally used to treat high blood pressure but is being studied here to see if it can help prevent cluster headache attacks. Participants will receive either candesartan tablets or placebo, and both will be given in capsules so that no one knows which treatment they are receiving. The purpose of the study is to find out if candesartan can reduce the number of severe and very severe cluster headache attacks compared to placebo during a three-week treatment period.</p>
<p>The study involves several phases that participants will go through over time. First, there is a one-week period before treatment starts where participants keep a diary of their headache attacks to establish a starting point. Then comes a three-week blinded phase where participants take either candesartan up to 32 milligrams daily or placebo, with neither the participants nor the doctors knowing which treatment is being given. During this time, participants continue to record their headache attacks, how severe they are, and what medications they use to treat them. After the three-week blinded phase, there is an optional treatment period where participants may continue taking the study medication, followed by a wash-out phase where the medication is stopped to see what happens.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about how much their condition has improved, how the headaches affect their daily life, and how they are feeling emotionally. The study will track how often severe and very severe attacks occur, how intense the attacks are, and how much rescue medication participants need to use. Researchers will also monitor how long it takes for attacks to stop completely and whether attacks return after treatment ends. The study is designed to gather information about whether candesartan can effectively prevent cluster headache attacks and improve the quality of life for people living with this condition.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a severe type of headache known as <i>chronic cluster headache</i>, which is a condition that causes intense pain and is difficult to treat with standard medications. The study is exploring the use of two well-known medications, <i>ketamine</i> and <i>magnesium sulfate</i>, to see if they can help relieve this type of headache in patients who have not found relief with other treatments. The trial will compare the effects of a single infusion of these medications to a control group receiving <i>hydroxyzine</i>, which acts as an active placebo.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment approach. Participants will receive the treatment through an intravenous infusion, which means the medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream. The study will monitor changes in the frequency and intensity of headache attacks over several weeks following the infusion. Participants will also be assessed for any side effects and their overall response to the treatment.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, researchers will collect data on how often and how severe the headaches are, as well as any changes in anxiety and depression levels. The study aims to provide insights into whether this combination of medications can offer a new option for those suffering from chronic cluster headaches who have not benefited from existing treatments.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on understanding the condition known as <i>Cluster Headache</i>, a type of severe headache that affects the nervous system. The study will use a special treatment called <i>Befiradol (18F)</i>, which is an injectable substance also known by its code name <i>[18F]-F13640</i>. This treatment will be used in combination with advanced imaging techniques, specifically <i>PET-MRI</i>, to explore how the brain functions during different phases of the headache.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to assess the differences in brain activity and blood flow between the active and inactive periods of cluster headaches. Participants will undergo imaging sessions where the <i>Befiradol (18F)</i> will help highlight areas of the brain that are active during these periods. The study aims to provide insights into how the brain&#8217;s activity changes before, during, and after a headache attack.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will receive injections of <i>Befiradol (18F)</i> and undergo <i>PET-MRI</i> scans. These scans will help researchers compare brain activity and blood flow during different phases of the headache. The study will not only look at the immediate effects but also how these changes correlate with the overall pattern of the headaches. This research hopes to contribute to a better understanding of cluster headaches and potentially lead to improved treatments in the future.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a treatment for <i>chronic cluster headache</i>, a severe type of headache that occurs in cyclical patterns or clusters. The study is investigating the use of <i>Botulinum toxin type A</i>, commonly known as Botox, which is a protein used in various medical treatments. The aim is to determine how effective this treatment is when directed at a specific area in the head called the <i>sphenopalatine ganglion</i>, which is a group of nerve cells linked to headache pain. The treatment will be administered using a special device that helps guide the injection to the right spot.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive either the active treatment with Botulinum toxin type A or a placebo. The study will monitor changes in the frequency and intensity of headache attacks over a period of time. The goal is to see if the treatment can reduce the number of headache attacks and improve the quality of life for those suffering from chronic cluster headaches. The study will also compare the occurrence of any side effects between those receiving the active treatment and those receiving the placebo.</p>
<p>The study will take place over several weeks, with participants being closely monitored by healthcare professionals. The results will help determine if Botulinum toxin type A is a viable treatment option for people who have not found relief from other medications. This research could provide new insights into managing chronic cluster headaches and offer hope for those affected by this challenging condition.</p>
