Outcome Measurement in Behavioral Headache Research: Headache Parameters and Psychosocial Outcomes

Abstract: The experience of pain is complex and includes multiple dimensions or aspects, such as sensory and affective (among others). Headache includes not only pain, but also associated symptoms that can further diversify the relevant dimensions. Subjective ratings of head pain, sampled daily, have come to be regarded as the "gold standard" in behavioral headache research. Primary measures of headache include the attack frequency or headache days per month. Secondary measures of headache may include headache activity/… Show more

“…According to the International Headache Society classification 21 of headache attributed to medication overuse, we excluded participants with an intake of triptans, ergotamines, or opioids on 10 or more days per month or of simple analgesics on 15 or more days per month on a regular basis for at least 3 months. 2 Participants were also excluded if they had received manual therapy in the 2 months before the study or were not able to read and write Dutch.…”

“…A reduction in headache days of 50% or greater was the clinically relevant outcome. 2 A significant difference of 87.5% versus 27.5% in outcome was found in favor of manual therapy, compared to usual care by the general practitioner, in participants with CTTH. 8 The extent to which specific elements (mobilization, isometric training of neck flexors, or posture correction) contribute to the effectiveness of manual therapy is unknown, and information about the working mechanisms of manual therapy in participants with headache is urgently needed.…”
