Study summary

This study is an observational study with the primary objective to assess the safety and tolerability of Ausanil in the treatment of primary headache disorders. The secondary objective is to assess headache pain, functional outcome, time loss to headache and patient satisfaction with Ausanil treatment.

Study population

Patients in a Clinical headache practice (outpatient) with a diagnosis of a primary headache disorder.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Men and women aged 18 to 80 years
  • Primary Headache disorder as per International Classification of Headache Disorders-11
  • Ausanil naive
  • Signed dated
  • Females of must be using adequate during study period.
  • Willing and able to comply with registry requirements to document headache response

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known allergy to Ausanil or any of its ingredients
  • Active bronchial asthma that in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with use of Ausanil
  • Nasal obstruction due to any cause or extensive nasal surgery resulting in scarring or other such impact on nasal mucosa that might lead to heightened sensitivity to Ausanil in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Pregnant or breast feeding females
  • History of addictive behavior
  • Any severe or chronic unstable medical or psychiatric condition
  • Active nasal infection or inflammation
  • Unable or unwilling to provide
  • Suffer from atypical, basilar or hemiplegic migraine that is new onset or unstable.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (all cause)

    Patient/Physician reporting

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events causally related to Ausanil

    Patient/Physician reporting

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  3. Serious Adverse Events

    Patient/Physician reporting

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Headache Response to Ausanil

    Change in Headache severity on a four point scale (0-3) will be measured at 5 minutes, one hour, two hours and twenty four hours

    Time frame: 24 hours

  2. Functional Assessment

    Improvement in ability to function after Headache treatment

    Time frame: 24 Hours

  3. Patient satisfaction for Treatment

    Patients will be asked to rate their satisfaction with treatment on a 7 point scale (very dissatisfied to very satisfied)

    Time frame: 24 hours

  4. Time Loss to headache

    How many hours of function were lost as result of the headache?

    Time frame: 24 hours

  5. Use of Rescue Medication

    Frequency of Rescue medication will be tabulated

    Time frame: 24 hours

  6. Sting severity and duration

    How long does the sting associated with Ausanil treatment last?

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 28, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
