Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
NPDH (New Persistent Daily Headache)
Patients with new persistent daily headache (NDPH) ages 10-18 years will be recruited and consented by the study coordinator. Patients will be recruited from patients already established with the Duke Pediatric Neurology clinic with a diagnosis of NDPH, or after their initial visit to establish the diagnosis of NDPH through the Duke, pediatric neurology clinics, personal communication and networking, and through the Duke adult headache clinic.
CGRP antibody
treatment with CGRP antibody for 4 months
Healthy (Normal) Controls
Children with normal development, aged 10-18 years, will be identified via the electronic health records of well-child visits in Duke Children's Hospital, community advertising and through networking with colleagues and friends.
Exclusion: 1) History of concussion or head injury 2) Psychiatric disorders 3) History of migraines or other headache disorder treated in the past 4) Known structural brain lesions (tumor, hydrocephalus, congenital anomalies)
No interventions assigned to this group
Chronic Migraine
Patients between 10-18 yrs of age:
A) Headache (migraine-like or tension-type-like) on ≥15 days/month for \>3 months, and fulfilling criteria B and C, B) Occurring in a patient who has had at least five attacks fulfilling criteria B-D for 1.1 Migraine without aura and/or criteria B and C for 1.2 Migraine with aura C) On ≥8 days/month for \>3 months, fulfilling any of the following (1) criteria C and D for 1.1 Migraine without aura 2) criteria B and C for 1.2 Migraine with aura 3) believed by the patient to be migraine at onset and relieved by a triptan or ergot derivative D) Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis
