Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational, propensity score matching, cohort, and assessor-blinded study designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of lidocaine combined Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) acting on SGB versus lidocaine alone acting on SGB in patients with CM.

Detailed Description

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

Chronic migraine (CM) is a disabling disease that causes serious physical and emotional consequences. Previous studies had suggested the efficacy of stellate ganglion block (SGB) with lidocaine in the treatment of CM. However, the side effects related to repeated procedures limit its applications. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an intervention treatment for chronic pain, has shown promising results to alleviate headache within the distribution range of the greater occipital nerve after trauma. So far, there has not been any report on PRP combined with lidocaine acting on SGB for CM. the investigators will conduct this multicenter, prospective, observational, propensity score matching, cohort, and assessor-blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lidocaine combined PRP acting on SGB versus lidocaine alone acting on SGB in patients with CM

Study Groups

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

PRP+Lidocaine group

Patients will be placed in the supine position, with slightly excessive neck extension to receive stellate ganglion block (SGB). And 2.5 ml of PRP combined with 2.5 ml of 1.0% lidocaine will be injected slowly into the ipsilateral stellate ganglion under the guide of ultrasound visualization technology

No interventions

Intervention Type OTHER

It is a observational study

Lidocaine group

Patients will be placed in the supine position, with slightly excessive neck extension to receive stellate ganglion block (SGB). And 5 ml of 1.0% lidocaine will be injected slowly into the ipsilateral stellate ganglion under the guide of ultrasound visualization technology
