Understanding primary headaches and current treatment options
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study is looking at how different types of primary headaches (like migraine or tension-type headaches) affect people and how they are being treated. The goal is to learn more about these headaches so that doctors can provide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is a headache disorder registry that enrolls people with common, “primary” headache types such as migraine or tension headache, including some with medication-overuse headaches. It collects information to better understand these conditions and who they affect.
This study looks at what migraine is like for people, such as how often it happens and what might affect it. You will fill out questionnaires, and no drugs or treatments will be tested.
This study examines how sensitive the skin and tissues around the head are in people with migraines or tension headaches. Researchers will perform gentle touch and pressure tests to understand pain patterns, which may help improve headache treatment in the future.
This study collects information from people who have headaches to better understand different headache types. You may help researchers by keeping headache records and allowing follow-up over time.
This study looks at why headaches can become long-lasting (“chronified”) by combining answers from online questionnaires, brain imaging, and blood protein tests. Your participation may help researchers find biological clues that could improve how headache problems are understood and treated.
This research study compares brain structure and psychological traits in people with chronic migraines that don't respond well to standard treatments versus healthy volunteers without migraines. Understanding these differences may help doctors develop better treatment options for difficult-to-treat migraines.
