Ethical considerations in cluster headache research

Stewart J Tepper et al. Curr Pain Headache Rep. 2002 Feb.

Abstract

Cluster headache is the most painful of the primary headache disorders and elucidating pathophysiology and treatment for this disorder is crucial. There is justification for studying attacks untreated, and even for precipitating these attacks. Placebo-controlled studies should only be undertaken for regulatory purposes; otherwise, active control should be used.
