There was a study recently completed in Trondheim, Norway: "Endoscopic Block of the Sphenopalatine Ganglion With Botulinum Toxin in Intractable Cluster Headache" https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02019017 ... but no results published yet.

Perhaps these research results are one of the reasons for the new study:

A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of R-Verapamil in the Prophylaxis of Episodic Cluster Headache. - Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of R-Verapamil in the Prevention of Episodic Cluster Headache.

The Eurolight Survey will be closing soon. If you live in Europe and havenÂ’t done your mouse clicks yet please register and enter your response right now: https://www.eurolight-cluster.eu/index.php?sid=64327〈=en

The survey questionnaires are still available. If you are a European with cluster headache and you havenÂ’t participated yet, please do so! https://www.eurolight-cluster.eu/index.php?sid=64327〈=en

After a little break for server maintenance the Eurolight survey is back. If you live in Europe, suffer from cluster headache and if you havenÂ’t participated yet, please register here to take the survey: https://www.eurolight-cluster.eu/index.php?sid=64327〈=en The explanations and the questionnaires are available in twelve languages. Please share this information with any European cluster headache patient you know.

Crowdfunding - perhaps an opportunity for cluster headache research? Please see http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2012/04/president-obama-signs-jobs-act-into.html http://www.petridish.org/ http://scifundchallenge.org/scifund-projects/neuroscience-and-psychology-projects/

What is the purpose of the study? Your participation in this Cluster Headache survey is for the benefit of yourself and other cluster headache patients. The study aims to evaluate the physical, emotional, socio-economic impact of cluster headaches as well as the disease-management satisfaction. The results will help to have a better understanding of cluster headache as a serious health problem and to assess the burden of cluster headache. The obtained information will contribute to evaluating the needs for an optimal disease management and ultimately improving cluster headache services and quality of life. The data will be used for publications in lay and scientific literature as well as reports to the European Commission More: http://www.eurolight-online.eu/index.cfm/spKey/news.eurolight_news/spId/DE6F4535-9D37-08D4-293C5ED1751B9882.html

Currently the questionnaire is available in the following languages:   English   Czech   Danish   Dutch   Finnish   French   German   Italian   Norwegian   Portuguese   Spanish   Swedish Does anybody have a contact to a Czech or Portuguese CH support group and/or medical centre for (cluster-) headaches, to let them know about this survey? All other European CH support groups have been informed, I think. If not: Please change that and let them know too! pf wishes Friedrich
