Headache

Data Standards

Organized by domains and subdomains often used in clinical studies, data standards include:

• CDEs — Classified as Core, Supplemental–Highly Recommended, Supplemental, or Exploratory

• CRF Modules — Template forms that logically organize CDEs for data collection

• Guidance Documents — Provide further information about the CDEs

• Instrument Notice of Copyright (NOC) Documents — Include pertinent information on recommended instruments

Prospective Assessments for Suicidal Ideation and Behavior

Investigators should review the FDA’s "Guidance for Industry: Suicidal Ideation and Behavior: Prospective Assessment of Occurrence in Clinical Trials” for the most up-to-date information about suicidal ideation and behavior. One scale that FDA suggests is the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) (available at http://www.cssrs.columbia.edu).

Overview

The first set of Common Data Elements (CDEs) for Headache were developed in 2011. In June 2017, the Headache CDE Working Group finished their work on version 2.0 of the Headache CDEs.

To develop the Headache v2.0 CDEs, the Headache Version 2.0 CDE Working Group divided into five (5) subgroups to focus on identifying and defining data elements in the domains of:

Biomarkers
Demographics
Diagnostics and Characteristics
Imaging and Neurophysiology
Therapies and Interventions

Roster

The Headache Version 2.0 CDE Working Group was comprised of five (5) different subgroups. Chairs were appointed to lead the overall Working Group and the individual subgroups. The Working Group members actively developed the CDEs for their specific subgroups and also had an opportunity to review and comment on the recommendations of the other subgroups. The Headache CDE Working Group was supported by the NINDS CDE Team. The complete Headache CDE Version 2.0 Working Group roster by subgroup are shown below.
