Abobotulinumtoxina Efficacy in Post-Traumatic Headache

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the efficacy of abobotulinumtoxina on Veterans with post-traumatic headache

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Post-Traumatic Headache Drug: AbobotulinumtoxinA Drug: Normal saline Phase 4

Detailed Description:

A significant proportion of headaches occur following head trauma, and therefore are referred to as post-traumatic headaches (PTH). Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is highly prevalent in the Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) population and consequently there has been a rise in PTH in the clinical setting at VA hospitals. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been shown to be effective in treating chronic migraine and chronic daily headache. It is therefore reasonable to predict that BoNT-A may also be effective in treating PTH. This study proposes that PTH and its associated symptoms may respond positively to BoNT-A treatment due to its similar pathophysiology and clinical resemblance to other headache disorders including tension type headache, typical migraine with or without aura, and chronic daily headache.

Study Design: Veterans with mild, moderate or severe brain injury with a headache developing within 7 days after head trauma and persisting greater than 3 months were recruited from the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. The study is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial.

Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 40 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
Masking Description: The project statistician used a computer-based random number generator to create a randomized treatment allocation schedule that was provided to the pharmacist and nurse practitioner who did not disclose this information. The pharmacist provided the nurse practitioner with the medication in an unlabeled bag, which either included BoNT-A or Normal Saline. Patients were randomized to receive BoNT-A or Normal Saline as first injection. The nurse practitioner reconstituted the medication in a separate room and then provided the investigator with unlabeled syringes.
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Abobotulinumtoxina Efficacy in Post-Traumatic Headache
Actual Study Start Date : August 1, 2013
Actual Primary Completion Date : February 2, 2017
Actual Study Completion Date : February 2, 2017
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Abobotulinumtoxina
300 units of abobotulinumtoxinA was reconstituted with 2.4 ml of 0.9% preservative free sterile saline so that each 0.1 ml contained 12.5 units of Abobotulinumtoxina 0.1 ml were injected into 31 sites of the head and neck
Drug: AbobotulinumtoxinA
Subjects were injected with 0.1 ml (12.5 units of Abobotulinumtoxina) into 31 distinct muscle locations in the head and neck
Other Name: Dysport

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
0.9% preservative free sterile saline. 0.1 ml were injected into 31 sites of the head and neck
Drug: Normal saline
Subjects were injected with 0.1 ml of preservative free normal saline into 31 distinct muscle locations in the head and neck

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of headaches from baseline [ Time Frame: evaluation from time of injection until completion of 12 week follow-up ]
    Evaluation in weekly incidence of headaches from baseline based on headache diary or weekly phone follow-up


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Intensity of headache pain [ Time Frame: evaluation from time of injection until completion of 12 week follow-up ]
    Evaluation of pain intensity using score of headache on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) over time. The NRS is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain with 0 being no pain and 10 being the most severe pain.

  2. Number of headache days per week [ Time Frame: evaluation from time of injection until completion of 12 week follow-up ]
    Evaluation of the number of days a headache was present over each week
