简要总结
Multi-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled pivotal study of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation with the GammaCore® device for the acute treatment of cluster headache. The study compares the safety and effectiveness of an active treatment (GammaCore) against a sham treatment.
详细描述
Phase 1: Prospective, randomized (1:1 active treatment:sham control allocation), double blinded, sham controlled treatment (active or sham) phase
Phase 2: Prospective, non-randomized, active treatment phase.
Phase 1 - Two Arms:
- Active Treatment with the GammaCore Device
- Sham Treatment with a placebo device
Phase 2 - One Arm:

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Repsonse to Treatment
时间窗: 15 minutes post stimulation
The primary outcome measurement for effectiveness is the rate of responders for the active treatment group, compared to the sham control group. A responder is defined as a subject who has recorded an intensity of 0 or 1 on the 5-point headache pain scale (no pain, mild, moderate, severe, very severe) at 15 minutes post-initiation of treatment of the first treated cluster headache attack of Phase 1.
次要结局
- Sustained Treatment Success at 1 Hour Post-Treatment(For 1 hour post stimulation)
- Incidence and Occurrence of Serious Adverse Events Related to Active or Sham Study Treatment and / or to Cluster Headache Events.(4 weeks, Phase 1)
- Average Mean Attack Intensities Experienced Per Subject(15 minutes post-stimulation)
