Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim is to investigate circadian rhythm in episodic cluster headache patients in- and outside of bout. This will be done using actigraphy and a short diary for 2 weeks in each period. A secondary outcome is to look at attack occurence and physical activity before and during an attack.
