Filter by:The NUMITOR study is an analytical observational study with an multicenter ambisective (retrospective and prospective) cohort design.
The main aim of the research: To develop an interdisciplinary treatment platform based on digital technology and test the operation and effectiveness of digital interventions in comparison with conventional multidisciplinary treatment or treatment standards (incl. Paper diary, nurse counseling, physiotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy).
In the International Headache and Vertigo Registration Study, patients aged 4-99 years with headache (primary headache and secondary headache such as migraine and tension type headache), vertigo (vertigo diseases such as vestibular migraine) and chronic pain (fibromyalgia and other diseases) were collected. The biomarkers, imaging features, right-to-left shunt of the heart (lung), genetic characteristics, treatment, and outcome (in relation to other diseases) of headache-related diseases were studied, and long-term follow-up was planned.
This proposal will involve a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes of a lifestyle behavior protocol in managing chronic migraine. Additionally, the proposal will investigate biomolecules that are uniquely involved in chronic migraine patients who respond to the protocol. Successful completion of this proposal will inform the design of a future full-scale behavioral clinical trial to control chronic migraine.
Children's chronic pain is a significant condition that affects roughly 25% of children, with approximately 3% of them requiring intense pain therapy. In the adult literature, various scales have been established to assess fear of pain. When these scales are studied, fear of pain has been shown to have a role in adult chronic pain research, but this topic has gotten less attention in pediatric chronic pain research. The Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children (FOPQ-C) is a questionnaire that addresses this knowledge gap. The purpose of this study is to determine the validity and clinical utility of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children (FOPQ-C) Scale in the Turkish community.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of sustained natural apophyseal glide and deep friction massage in patients with cervicogenic headache for reducing pain, enhancing cervical range of motion and improving sleep quality.
The aim of this study to evaluate the effects of fibromyalgia syndrome accompanying women with chronic migraine on pain, quality of life, sleep, anxiety and depression, central sensitization and functionality.
Headache disorders are diagnosed by clinical history taking and applying the criteria provided within the International Classification of Headache Disorders Third Edition (ICHD-3). To help patients and physicians in making the correct diagnosis, digital technologies based on natural language processing (NLP) approaches may help to identify headache disorders within naturally patient-provided speech. The research aims to develop statistical models through machine-learning NLP applications for the accurate and precise classification of headache disorders with headache expert given ICHD-3 diagnosis as the gold standard. Furthermore, the research also aims to develop statistical models through machine-learning NLP applications for the estimation of impact scores derived from validated headache questionnaires by using texts as input. Patients from the tertiary headache clinic will be recruited to provide oral narrative textual descriptions of their headache attack characteristics and burden of disease related to their headache disorders. The goal of the research is to develop accessible, evidence-based digital medical tools as low-effort applications for the correct diagnosis of headache disorders and estimation of burden of disease due to headache disorders.
This study aims to inform the continued development of a mobile app intended to support the treatment of CYP with migraine. After extensive public and patient involvement, Happyr Health has developed a mobile app that allows children and young people to track headache attacks and emotional wellbeing and to access coping techniques. With the use of gamification and storytelling elements, the app aims to engage children to be an active part in tracking and coping with their headaches. The outcomes of this study will inform future adaptations and development cycles of the Happyr Health app. 15 participants aged 10-16 will access the Happyr app for 8 weeks (= intervention). Primary outcomes of acceptability and implementation will be measured via surveys following the 8-week intervention in the app.
Chronic headaches are a major cause of disability among adolescents. Cannabis products have supported the management of headaches in adults and may play a role in pediatric chronic pain. We propose a multisite, open-label, tolerability study conducted across three centers in Canada of Cannabidiol-enriched Cannabis Herbal Extract in adolescents (ages 14 to 17 years old) with chronic headaches. The study includes a one month baseline assessment, four months of escalating treatment doses and a weaning period. Our primary outcome is tolerability defined as the number and severity of reported adverse events.
