Researchers want to understand why some people have headaches that come and go (episodic headaches) while others have them nearly all the time (chronic headaches). This study will track adults with either type of headache for six months, measuring their personality traits, how their brain processes information, and how sensitive their nervous system is to pain. The goal is to find out what helps or gets in the way of treating headaches successfully.
Headaches affect millions of people, but doctors don't fully understand why some treatments work better for some patients than others. This research aims to identify personal and neurological factors that influence how well headache treatment works, so doctors can eventually tailor care to each person's specific needs.

You will visit the headache clinic twice: once at the start of the study and again about six months later. During each visit, researchers will ask you questions about your personality, conduct tests of your thinking and memory, and assess how sensitive your nervous system is to pain. There are no medications to take or invasive procedures—mainly questionnaires and standard neurological assessments. The entire study lasts about three years total, but your personal involvement is limited to these two clinic visits.
