Objective: To develop and assess the psychometrics of the Chronic Headache Self-Efficacy Scale (CHASE).
Background: Existing scales assess self-efficacy in coping strategies and management of symptoms and triggers but do not measure other important self-efficacy domains, such as performing daily activities and socializing in patients with chronic daily headache (CDH).
Methods: The study had two phases: (i) Development of the 14-item CHASE, with items derived from patients with CDH and a multidisciplinary healthcare team; (ii) longitudinal observational study for psychometric evaluation.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how physical rehabilitation affects the outcomes for critically ill COVID-19 patients in the ICU, focusing on dosage and patient recovery.
- This retrospective analysis included 3,780 adults and measured factors like mortality, discharge status, and physical function upon leaving the hospital.
- Findings show that increased early rehabilitation correlates with improved physical function at discharge, particularly in patients who did not need mechanical ventilation.
Objective: to examine the relationship between physical rehabilitation parameters including a novel approach to quantifying dosage with hospital outcomes for patients with critical COVID-19.
Design: Retrospective practice analysis from March 5, 2020, to April 15, 2021.
Setting: Intensive care units (ICU) at four medical institutions.
A 40-year-old woman was referred to physical therapy with complaints of headaches. Examination raised suspicion of a "thunderclap headache," a condition characterized by sudden, intense headaches correlated with bleeding in and around the brain. The patient was referred to a neurologist, who ordered magnetic resonance angiography of the head and neck, which identified a partial dissection of the right vertebral artery.

We review the current scientific data on studies using multimodal treatments, especially physical therapy and occupational therapy, and provide recommendations on the formation of interdisciplinary headache teams.
Background: Chronic daily headache, which includes chronic migraine, is a particularly challenging clinical entity which often involves multiple headache types and comorbidities.
