Headstrong Intervention for Pediatric Headache

Chronic Headaches Clinical Trial

Official title: Headstrong Intervention for Recurrent Pediatric Headache

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of this study is to determine if a CD-ROM computer program (called "Headstrong") is effective in helping children cope with chronic headaches.

Clinical Trial Description

Children, 7-12 years, with recurrent headaches are randomly assigned to an educational CD-ROM program or the Headstrong CD-ROM program. We anticipate that those assigned to the active (Headstrong) program group will have significantly greater reductions in headache frequency, duration, and severity and improvements in mood and quality of life. ;
