Abstract: Large-scale health registries offer unique opportunities to advance headache research by providing population-wide, longitudinal data on disease burden, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes. Drawing on research from the Norwegian Centre for Headache Research (NorHead), this lecture will explore how linked health registries can be used to address important clinical questions in migraine research. It will highlight emerging epidemiological methods, recent research findings, and key methodological challenges and pitfalls. Finally, the lecture will discuss future opportunities for combining registry data with clinical and other data sources to generate new insights, identify potential treatments, and improve headache care.
Host: Dr. Edoardo Caronna, Postdoctoral researcher Headache and Neurological Pain (VHIR).
