Saline Injections for Prophylactic Treatment of Chronic Migraine

Study Description
Brief Summary:
In this study, the investigators want to investigate whether saline injections in the neck and head muscles can reduce symptoms of chronic migraine. In existing studies, saline injections (used as placebo treatment) have given patients with chronic migraine an average of 7 headache-free days per month.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Chronic Migraine Drug: Saline injection Procedure: Placebo Phase 4

Detailed Description:
Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for chronic migraine will be invited to participate in the study. All participants will undergo a medical examination. The participants will fill out an electronic headache diary for one month. This will give a picture of the current headache pattern and establish a baseline. The participants will then be randomized into two groups: saline injections or needle sticks without injection. They will not be aware of which group they belong to. The treatment will be repeated on two occasions three months apart. The headache diary will continue during the treatment period and up to three months after the second treatment. The effect will be analyzed by comparing baseline data from the headache diary to data after treatment. The primary outcome of the study is the number of days with headache, during a 28-day period.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in number of Days with headache [ Time Frame: change between baseline 28 day period prior injection1 and 28 day period ending study ]

    A headache day is defined as: 1) a day with headache ≥ 4 hours or 2) a day with headache of any duration, where the headache is relieved with acute headache medication (AHM)

    By AHM is meant a drug that is taken when needed for the purpose of relieving headaches, including any of the following:

    • Paracetamol
    • Aspirin
    • NSAID
    • Triptan
    • Opioid
    • Ergotamine
    • Dihydroergotamine

    The primary efficacy measure is the change between the baseline 28-day period (4 weeks prior injection 1) and the corresponding period during follow-up, i.e. the 28-day period ending the study. a secondary efficacy measure is the change between the baseline and the 28-day period preceding the second injection.


  2. Change in number of Days with headache [ Time Frame: change between baseline and the 28-day period preceding the second injection ]

    A headache day is defined as: 1) a day with headache ≥ 4 hours or 2) a day with headache of any duration, where the headache is relieved with acute headache medication.

    By AHM is meant a drug that is taken when needed for the purpose of relieving headaches, including any of the following:

    • Paracetamol
    • Aspirin
    • NSAID
    • Triptan

  1. Number of Days with moderate or severe headache [ Time Frame: change between baseline 28 day period prior injection1 and 28 day period ending study ]
    A headache day with moderate or severe intensity is defined as: 1) a day with headache ≥ 4 hours and with a peak of moderate or severe intensity or 2) a day with headache of any duration or intensity, where the headache is relieved with AHM. The primary efficacy measure is the change between the baseline 28-day period (4 weeks prior injection 1) and the corresponding period during follow-up, i.e. the 28-day period ending the study. a secondary efficacy measure is the change between the baseline and the 28-day period preceding the second injection.

    A headache day with moderate or severe intensity is defined as: 1) a day with headache ≥ 4 hours and with a peak of moderate or severe intensity or 2) a day with headache of any duration or intensity, where the headache is relieved with AHM.
