Nurse Intervention Trial

The study aims to help people with headaches who are starting new prevention treatments. It will check if patients feel better with calls from a nurse or just seeing their regular doctor.

Eligible patients need to have seen a brain doctor (neurologist) for headache checks, including tests and a headache diary. They'll try a new medicine and learn about its use and side effects. If they agree, they'll be part of one of two groups for about 3 months.

• Group A: Patients get calls from a headache nurse at 2 and 6 weeks. They'll have a final check-up with a neurologist after about 3 months.
• Group B: Patients manage their follow-up, contact their regular doctor, and have a final check-up after about 3 months.

To join, you must have a specific headache diagnosis and need new medicine. You can't join if your diagnosis is unclear, need more tests, or have trouble using a headache diary. The study is in Norwegian, so understanding the language is necessary.

• **Duration**: About 3 months.
• **Visits**: Group A gets phone calls; Group B manages their own visits.
• **Risks**: Possible side effects from new medicine.
