Headache is a very common main complaint of patients with GH pituitary tumor, which has seriously affected the normal work and life of patients. Although the current surgery and drugs have a certain effect on patients with headache, the overall effect is not satisfied. However, the use of COX-2 inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other analgesics are only effective for some patients with headaches, and long-term use has adverse reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to seek new treatments for postoperative headaches in patients with GH pituitary tumors. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modulates the excitability of the underlying cerebral cortex by applying a rapidly changing magnetic field on the surface of the scalp. It is a relatively simple and safe method. It is currently approved for treating depression, migraine, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Alzheimer's disease. Several small clinical studies have proven that rTMS can be used to prevent and treat Headache. Therefore, this study aims to observe the efficacy and safety of TMS in the treatment of postoperative headache in patients with GH pituitary tumors.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT04529356 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
