New study tests two procedures for chronic migraine relief
NCT ID NCT07395908
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for chronic migraine: a nerve block and a radiofrequency procedure. Researchers will measure blood levels of migraine-related proteins (CGRP and PACAP38) before and one month after treatment. The goal is to see which procedure works better and whether these biomarkers can predict success. 100 adults with chronic migraine are enrolled.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Greater occipital nerve block and pulse radiofrequency
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a more effective, biomarker-guided treatment for chronic migraine.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The treatments are procedures, not drugs, and long-term benefits are unknown.
