The revised Headache Version 2.0 draft recommendations are available for Public Review from 1 June to 10 July28/06/2017
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Headache Common Data Elements (CDE) were developed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical research studies and clinical treatment, increase data quality, facilitate data sharing across studies, more effectively aggregate information into significant metadata results, significantly reduce study start-up time, and help educate new clinical investigators. Since the 2011 release of Version 1.0 of the Headache CDEs, the research community felt that updates were necessary to better serve the purpose of harmonizing data collection.
The revised Headache Version 2.0 draft recommendations were recently developed; they will be available for Public Review from June 1, 2017 – July 10, 2017. The draft recommendations can be downloaded as a zip file from the NINDS website.
Please direct any questions to NINDSCDE@emmes.com and Michael.Oshinsky@nih.gov (NINDS/NIH Program Director, Pain and Migraine).
