Non-pharmacological Treatment of Patients at Risk of Developing Persistent Post-traumatic Headache: The PTHEENOT Study

Sponsor: Esbjerg Hospital - University Hospital of Southern Denmark

Summary

The goal of this mixed method study is to test and evaluate the effect of an early interdisciplinary non-pharmacological treatment of patients at risk of developing persistent posttraumatic headache in order to prevent the development of persistent posttraumatic headache and thereby, reduce persistency and improve the quality of life. Furthermore, to gain knowledge on and a deeper understanding of the patients' perspective and experience of the treatment. The project consists of 3 sub studies: 1. A feasibility study; with the purpose of exploring the feasibility of an early non-pharmacological intervention for patients with persistent posttraumatic headache after mild traumatic brain injury. 2. An experimental design; a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of the early non-pharmacological treatment. 3. A qualitative focus group interview study; to get a more nuanced knowledge of patients' experience with the non-pharmacological treatment related to post traumatic headache.
