Adolescent Lifestyle Medicine Headache Study
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Headache, Migraine
In brief
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to assess the implementation of a 7-week Lifestyle Medicine intervention for adolescents with headache. The main question it aims to answer is: Is it feasible to implement a Lifestyle Medicine curriculum for adolescents with headache and secondarily, does this intervention show any signal for improving headache symptoms? Participants will be divided into two groups based on the order of their enrollment. After consent, they will be asked to complete 3 symptom surveys: PedMIDAS-6w, PHQ-A and GAD-7, in addition to a Lifestyle Survey. They will attend group medicine visits virtually, facilitated by the study team. Each week will address a different tenant of Lifestyle Medicine (such as eating or sleep) and participants will create a SMART goal to work on for the week. At the end of the seven weeks, they will repeat these symptom and lifestyle surveys. During the seven weeks, they will also keep a daily symptom diary, which will be texted to their phones through a HIPPA-compliant RedCAP database.
