Article Synopsis
- Cluster headache (CH) significantly impacts quality of life (QoL), prompting the need for a disease-specific assessment tool like the 28-item Cluster Headache Quality of Life Scale (CH-QoL).
- This study translated the CH-QoL into German and tested its comprehensibility, leading to a sample of 106 participants who provided feedback on the translated version.
- The German CH-QoL exhibited strong psychometric properties, such as reliability and validity, suggesting it is an effective tool for measuring QoL in individuals with CH.
Objective: This study is part of the ODIN-migraine (Optimization of Diagnostic Instruments in migraine) project. It is a secondary, a priori analysis of previously collected data, and aimed to assess the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Cogniphobia Scale for Headache Disorders (CS-HD). We aimed to construct a German-language version and a short version.

This exploratory study aimed to identify moderators for the outcome between migraine-specific cognitive-behavioral therapy and relaxation training.
Methods: In this secondary analysis of an open-label randomized controlled trial, the data of = 77 adults (completer sample) with migraine (mean age = 47.
In the field of headache disorders, the term "fear of attacks" refers to the fear of a headache attack occurring. Excessive fear of attacks may worsen the course of a migraine and lead to an increase in migraine activity. In the assessment of attack-related fear, a categorical (fear of attacks as a specific phobia) and a dimensional approach (measuring the extent of fear using a questionnaire) are available.
