New treatment option for Posttraumatic Headache
Official title Hypersensitivity to Adrenomedullin in Post-Traumatic Headache
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07059546
What this study is testing
What is Adrenomedullin?
Adrenomedullin is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for posttraumatic headache.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Adrenomedullin is a neuropeptide implicated in the pathogenesis of headache. This study investigates whether adrenomedullin induces headache with migraine-like features in people with persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
