Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) in the United States who experience sinus, vestibular, auditory, or headache symptoms, with or without migraine diagnosis, and who are fluent in English or Spanish.

What this trial studies
The HEADS Registry is an observational, decentralized data collection project enrolling U.S. adults with sinus, vestibular, auditory, or headache symptoms. Participants complete online questionnaires about symptoms, their impact on daily life, and management strategies, with one-year updates to track natural history. Data from self-reports and medical records will be used to power observational studies, identify prognostic markers, and help identify patients for future trials and post-marketing surveillance. The study is led by the Association of Migraine Disorders with collaborators Lumiio Inc. and Pfizer, and collects information in English or Spanish. There is no interventional treatment being tested in this registry; rather, it aims to improve understanding and care pathways for atypical migraine presentations and related conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Improved understanding of the causes and progression of sinus, vestibular, auditory, and headache symptoms, potentially leading to faster diagnosis and better treatments.
How similar studies have gone: Observational registries in related headache and ENT conditions have provided valuable insights and supported trial recruitment, though this HEADS registry explores a broad, diverse population and is relatively novel in scope.
