Official Title: Circadian Rhythm and Attack-timing in Episodic Cluster Headache Patients in- and Outside of Bout: an Actigraphic Study

Brief Summary: The aim is to investigate circadian rhythm in episodic cluster headache using actigraphy.

Detailed Summary: The aim is to investigate circadian rhythm in episodic cluster headache patients in- and outside of bout. This will be done using actigraphy and a short diary for 2 weeks in each period. A secondary outcome is to look at attack occurence and physical activity before and during an attack.
Sponsor: Danish Headache Center

Current Primary Outcome: Circadian rhythm [ Time Frame: Circadian rhythm is assessed after 2 weeks ]

After 2 weeks of actigraphy, the circadian rhythm will be assessed using "Philips Actiware 6" program.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Attack occurence [ Time Frame: The time of day will be assessed after 2 weeks ]
  • Physical activity before and during an attack [ Time Frame: Increase / decrease in activity count will be described after 2 weeks. ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
