    Mechanistic Studies of Psilocybin in Headache Disorders

    Testing how psilocybin may affect migraine headache symptoms

    📍 VA Connecticut Healthcare System · West Haven, CT · Get directions →

    In previous clinical trial work, the investigators observed lasting reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin. This purpose of this study is to examine potential sources for this observed effect.

  • Depression

    Confirmatory Efficacy Trial of Attention Bias Modification for Depression

    Testing two types of attention-bias training for adults with depression

    📍 Institute for Mental Health Research · Austin, TX · Get directions →

    The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two related, but different ABM (Attention Biased Modification) treatments for depression in adults with elevated symptoms of depression. The main aims are: * Aim 1:examine whether gamified ABM leads to greater change in the primary and secondary outcomes than sham ABM * Aim 1: establish that gamified ABM is at least as effective as traditional ABM.

  • Depression

    Synaptic Mechanisms of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation in Depression

    Studying how a repeated brain stimulation method may help depression

    📍 McLean Hospital · Belmont, MA · Get directions →

    Many people with depression do not get better with standard treatments like medication. One promising alternative is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions.

  • Migraine / chronic headache

    Does Nerve Block + Oral Dexamethasone Reduce Recurrence of Headache Within 72 Hrs?

    Testing whether a nerve block plus steroid tablets lowers migraine headache return within 72 hours

    📍 University Medical Center of El Paso · El Paso, TX · Get directions →

    For some patients who come to the emergency department for treatment of a migraine headache, peripheral headache nerve blocks (PHNB) have proven to be an efficient and effective treatment for headache relief. Previous studies have demonstrated that adding steroids as an adjunct treatment to standard migraine treatment can reduce recurrence of headaches in the subsequent few days.
