NCT ID NCT07250984
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This small study tests whether eptinezumab, a drug used for migraines, can reduce pain in people with atypical facial pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. Ten participants will receive two intravenous infusions three months apart. The main goal is to see if the drug improves daily functioning, measured by a migraine disability questionnaire.
