Lidocaine Infusion for Chronic Debilitating Migraines
This study is looking at how well a treatment called bilateral middle meningeal artery lidocaine infusion works for people with chronic, very severe migraines. This treatment involves carefully putting lidocaine, a common numbing medicine, into specific blood vessels in your head. The goal is to numb pain receptors that cause chronic headaches, which might reduce how often, how long, and how bad your migraines are. To join, you must be between 18 and 75 years old and have chronic daily headaches (more than 15 headache days a month for at least 3 months) that haven't improved with at least three other preventive treatments. The study aims to see if this treatment reduces your monthly migraine headache days over three months after the procedure. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 40 participants.
- Study design
