metoclopramide and Tension-Type Headache

metoclopramide has been researched along with Tension-Type Headache in 5 studies

Metoclopramide: A dopamine D2 antagonist that is used as an antiemetic.
metoclopramide : A member of the class of benzamides resulting from the formal condensation of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid with the primary amino group of N,N-diethylethane-1,2-diamine.

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. (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd ed. Cephalalgia 2004: suppl 1)

Trial Outcomes

Change in Pain Score

At baseline at at 60 minutes, all patients were asked to describe their pain on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 representing no pain and 10 the worst imaginable. The primary outcome is the 60 minute score subtracted from the baseline score (NCT01011673)
Timeframe: Baseline, 60 minutes

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Ketorolac3.8
Metoclopramide5.1

Satisfaction Scores

"24 hours after the emergency department visit, patients were asked, The next time you come to the Er with this type of headache, do you want to receive the same medication? Affirmative answers are tabulated here." (NCT01011673)
Timeframe: 24 hours

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Ketorolac45
Metoclopramide53

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)
Timeframe: 0-60 minutes

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)
