ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a questionnaire called the Dutch Henry Ford Hospital Headache Disability Questionnaire (HDI) to see how well it works for patients with headaches and neck pain. The goal is to determine if this questionnaire accurately measures how headaches affect people’s daily lives. The researchers are currently looking for participants to join the study.

To be eligible, you need to be between the ages of 65 and 74 and must have been diagnosed with a type of headache by a neurologist. This includes both primary headaches (like migraines) and secondary headaches (which can be caused by other conditions). Participants should have had at least one day of headache in the last month and must speak Dutch. However, individuals with certain serious medical issues or specific types of headaches not recognized by neurology guidelines cannot participate. If you join, you’ll help improve understanding and treatment options for headache disorders.
