Resting State Functional Connectivity in Cluster Headache

Cluster headaches are very painful headaches that happen on one side of the head. They often follow a daily pattern, and can come back yearly. Scientists want to learn how the brain is connected during these headaches. They will use a special test called HD-EEG (High Density Electroencephalogram), which measures brain activity. This study will look at how different parts of the brain communicate during cluster headaches.

• Study Duration: For episodic sufferers, there are two visits; chronic sufferers have one.
• Compensation: Information not provided.
• Participation: Requires resting with eyes open and closed during recordings.

To join, you must have had cluster headaches for at least a year. You cannot join if you have epilepsy, certain mental illnesses, or are pregnant. Healthy people without headaches can also join as controls. This is a chance to help understand and possibly improve treatment for these headaches. 😊
