A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The International Headache Registry collects data from patients aged 4 to 99 years who suffer from various headache disorders, including migraines and tension-type headaches, as well as vertigo and chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia. This observational study aims to analyze biomarkers, imaging features, genetic characteristics, and treatment outcomes related to these conditions. Participants will undergo long-term follow-up to assess the progression and management of their symptoms. The study seeks to enhance understanding of headache-related diseases and their interconnections with other health issues.
