Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Visual Analogue Scale for Pain | immediately before starting the intervention and after the last session of the intervention, that is, 2 weeks from the start | a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line, usually 10 centimeters (100 mm) in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme: no pain (score of 0) and worst imaginable pain (score of 10) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Six-item Headache Impact Text | immediately before starting the intervention and after the last session of the intervention, that is, 2 weeks from the start | A global measure of adverse headache impact. The final HIT-6 score is obtained from simple summation of the six items and ranges between 36 and 78, with larger scores reflecting greater impact. |
