ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well a Turkish version of a headache questionnaire works to identify two common types of headaches: migraine and tension-type headaches. The questionnaire has 10 simple questions and is meant to help doctors quickly screen people who come in with headache complaints. The study will compare the answers from this questionnaire to the diagnosis given by a neurologist, who will examine each participant and decide the type of headache based on established guidelines.

If you are 18 years or older and have headaches, you might be eligible to take part in this study, as long as you can read and understand Turkish and don’t have serious mental health or thinking problems that would make it hard to complete the questionnaire. Participants will first fill out the headache questionnaire and then see a neurologist for a full evaluation. This study aims to make sure the questionnaire is accurate and reliable, which could help doctors better identify headache types in the future. The trial is not yet recruiting participants.
