Neuroimaging Studies of Chronic Primary Headaches Using Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

NCT01741246 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 78

Last updated 2015-06-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Investigators hypothesize that chronic primary headaches are accompanied by a discrete pattern of brain metabolism and activity involving brain structures related to the development of acute exacerbations as well as pain modulation. Such structures include the brainstem, hypothalamus, and orbitofrontal cortex and can be defined using functional brain imaging.
