meperidine and Tension-Type Headache

meperidine has been researched along with Tension-Type Headache in 3 studies

Meperidine: A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type; withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.
pethidine : A piperidinecarboxylate ester that is piperidine which is substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by phenyl and ethoxycarbonyl groups at position 4. It is an analgesic which is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and labour pain.

Tension-Type Headache: A common primary headache disorder, characterized by a dull, non-pulsatile, diffuse, band-like (or vice-like) PAIN of mild to moderate intensity in the HEAD; SCALP; or NECK. The subtypes are classified by frequency and severity of symptoms. There is no clear cause even though it has been associated with MUSCLE CONTRACTION and stress.

Trial Outcomes

Anxiety

Reduction in 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score. The maximum possible change in VAS score is 100 mm, representing the complete relief of maximum anxiety. A change of 0 mm corresponds to no change in anxiety level, and a negative value indicates worsening of the anxiety after the medication. (NCT02657031)
Timeframe: 0-60 minutes

Headache Following Intervention

Reduction in 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score. Positive values represent a reduction in headache severity. The maximum possible change in VAS score is 100 mm, representing the complete relief of a maximally severe headache. A change of 0 mm corresponds to no change in headache severity, and a negative value indicates worsening of the headache after the medication. (NCT02657031)

Nausea

Reduction in 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score. The maximum possible change in VAS score is 100 mm, representing the complete relief of maximum nausea. A change of 0 mm corresponds to no change in nausea level, and a negative value indicates worsening of the nausea after the medication. (NCT02657031)
