An observational study in Migraine, Tension Headache and Posttraumatic Headache, sponsored by Danish Headache Center. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-03-10.
Sponsored by Danish Headache Center · Observational
This cross-sectional study aims to compare muscle function of the neck, and shoulder and muscle tenderness in three groups of headache patients: migraine, tension-type headache, and posttraumatic headache. The study will evaluate muscle tenderness through the Total Tenderness Score (TTS) and muscle function through maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and rate of force development (RFD). Additionally, functional assessments such as the Cranio-Cervical Flexion Test (CCFT) and Ito Test will be performed.
1,657 studies on the registry are indexed under Migraine Disorders; 339 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 90 is below the median of 137 across 331 observational studies indexed under Migraine Disorders.

Functional evaluation First, the patients will fill the Fysisk Aktivitet Questionnaire, the o Klinisk Oral Fysiologi (KU) Questionnaire and the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire. Then, the evaluator will applicate the Total Tenderness Score (TTS) for evaluating their tenderness in different spots of the head and neck regions. The next evaluation comprehends the evaluation of the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) for the different neck movements and the rate of force development (RFD) of the shoulder elevation. After this, patients will perform the cranio-cervical flexion test (CCFT), and, finally, the Ito test to evaluate the lumbar endurance.
Primary Outcome Measure: 1.Rate of Force Development (RFD)
Rate of Force Development (RFD) of the shoulder elevation Maximum voluntary isometric contraction performed "as fast and hard as possible" using a custom dynamometer for the shoulder elevation movement.
Time frame: 1 year
