Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess the 6-months effects and safety of stellate ganglion block(SGB) for Chronic Migraine (CM) patients who failure to undergo preventive therapy and are seeking a more suitable non-pharmacological therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators aim to investigate whether the stellate ganglion block(SGB) is better than traditional medication treatment and provides medical evidence for the clinical application and promotion of SGB to provide a minimally invasive, safe, and effective treatment for patients with chronic migraine(CM) who failed to receive standardized drug treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stellate Ganglion Block plus standardized drug treatment group

Besides orally topiramate plus ibuprofen as standardized drug treatment, patients will also receive SGBs plus standardized drug therapy; SGB will be performed once a week for 4 consecutive times in an individual series. The interval of each separate SGB procedure is 1 week. Every time patients with bilateral headache will be administered SGB alternately on each side at an interval of 40 min, and patients with unilateral headache will be administered SGB on the ipsilateral side;

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

All SGB procedures will be performed by the same experienced physicians. Patients will be positioned in a supine position with the neck slightly hyperextended and receive a SGB procedure using the B-ultrasound visualization technique (Aurora A5 Ultrasound, Risco Tech Co., Ltd.). 1% lidocaine 5mL (Shanxi Jinxin Shuanghe Pharm Co., Ltd.) will be injected below the prevertebral fascia on the surface of longus colli muscle

standardized drug treatment

Intervention Type DRUG

Topiramate(Topiramate, Xi'an Yangsen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd) will be started at a low dose and then increased gradually until optimally effective, side effects become intolerable, or the maximum recommended dose is reached. During the 4-week up-titration phase, the intention will increase dose weekly in 25 mg increments with the aim of reaching 50-100 mg/day. Ibuprofen((Fenbid, Tianjin Shike Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd)will be chosen as acute treatment, but no more than 10 times per month to avoid medication overuse headache.

standardized drug treatment group

The patients will only receive Topiramate plus ibuprofen as standardized drug treatment according to the guidelines for the treatment of CM.
