Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to learn more about the Headache Screening Questionnaire in people with Headache. The main question is:

Does the lower limit of a 95% confidence interval of the HSQ in physiotherapy during a period of 2 to 4 weeks reach at least 0.4?

Detailed Description

Data are collected using the REDCap web application (https://redcap.zhaw.ch/). REDCap is designed for the creation and administration of online surveys. Respondents can access the survey directly via a QR code or link and complete the screening questionnaire via smartphone or computer. In a first step, the participating persons are included or excluded based on the criteria mentioned (chapter: Proband:innen). Once eligibility has been confirmed, the HSQ is completed online for the first time in a second step. After that, the test persons will receive a reminder e-mail after 2 weeks to complete the retest online. After the reminder email the test persons have 2 weeks to complete the retest. Those who participate later will be excluded and not included in the data analysis. In addition, the retest asks whether the headaches have changed compared to the test due to the physiotherapeutic treatment. This is asked with a three Likert scale (not changed, slightly changed, strongly changed). The severely changed headaches are not included in the analysis.

Study Groups

Test-Retest

sample of convenience headache suffereres will be tested twice

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Headache Screening Questionnaire

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Dutch Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) is the only screening questionnaire based on ICHD-3 which has at least moderate confidence in its criterion validity according to GRADE. The HSQ has already been translated into Portuguese and validated5. The HSQ has only 8 items and requires little time to complete. Due to its good sensitivity, the HSQ screening questionnaire is particularly well suited to exclude migraine.
