Visual Instillation of Sphenopalatine-block Intervention for ONgoing Migraine (VISION)

4 novembre 2026 aggiornato da: Association of Migraine Disorders

The goal of this double-blinded, randomized placebo controlled clinical trial is to to see if using a numbing medicine (lidocaine) on certain areas inside the nose can help with headaches, neck pain, facial pain and pressure, and other symptoms. It also aims to understand the pathophysiology that causes these symptoms.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Is applying numbing medication directly to the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) area, while watching through the scope to make sure it's in the right place, a workable and effective way to treat migraine headaches immediately and 24 hours?
  2. Is applying numbing medication directly to the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) area, while watching through the scope to make sure it's in the right place, a workable and effective way to improve patient-reported outcomes?
  3. Does daily lidocaine nasal spray improve patient-reported outcomes?

The 3-month study requires:

  • One virtual visit (on the computer)
  • One visit to the office for placement of the numbing medicine under direct vision
  • One week of daily nasal spray treatment
  • Daily headache diary entries that take less than two minutes to complete

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Topical lidocaine endoscopically-guided intranasal nerve block

Topical solution of 4% lidocaine on small cotton pledgets with be placed endoscopically at the posterior root of the middle turbinate and in the anterior ethmoid nerve region bilaterally for Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block (SPG) block with anterior ethmoid (AE) block.

A rigid endoscopic technique utilizing a cotton pledget as a delivery vehicle of the topical lidocaine allows direct visualization of the target.

Comparatore placebo: Placebo (saline) endoscopically-guided intranasal nerve block

Topical solution of saline on small cotton pledgets with be placed endoscopically at the posterior root of the middle turbinate and in the anterior ethmoid nerve region bilaterally for Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block (SPG) block with anterior ethmoid (AE) block.

A rigid endoscopic technique utilizing cotton pledget as a delivery vehicle of the topical saline allows direct visualization of the target.

Sperimentale: Nasal spray with lidocaine

This treatment arm will be 4% lidocaine solution in a metered bottle. The Pump size is 0.1 mL per spray dispenses 4 mg of lidocaine per spray - total of 16 mg (vol 0.4 mL). Participants will be instructed to use 2 sprays in each nostril per 24 hours.
