About this study
Official title: Contextuele Analyse, Fysiologische Metingen en Machinaal Leren Voor Migraine en Clusterhoofdpijn (COPIMAC Studie)
This is an observational, longitudinal cohort pilot study measuring physiological signals through wearable sensors combined with machine learning algorithms to detect behaviour, stress and headaches in patients with migraine and cluster headache.
Read the detailed description
Migraine and cluster headache are among the most disabling headache conditions in humans. Both conditions have different phases such as the prodromal/premonitory phase, the aura phase, the headache phase and the postdromal phase. This pilot study examines the potential of wearable sensors combined with machine learning algorithms to investigate the biological changes over time in both conditions. Behaviour such as movement, sleep and activity will be monitored. Stress levels will be estimated through the wearable data combined with input from the patients. Participants will use a wearable device around the wrist and self-developed headache application for 21 days.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Galvanic Skin Response changes (time frame: 21 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04949204, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2022.
