Headache trigger test: could amylin be the culprit?

NCT ID NCT07340775

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study gives people with persistent post-traumatic headache a hormone called amylin (or a placebo) to see if it triggers migraine-like headaches. The goal is to understand why headaches continue after a mild brain injury. Only 21 adults will take part, and the results may help design future treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

pramlintide (amylin analogue)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help explain why some people get headaches after a head injury, pointing toward new treatment targets.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-phase study (21 people) that only looks at headache triggers, not treatment. Results may not apply to everyone with post-traumatic headache.
