Exploring Sleep deprivation in Chronic Cluster Headache

This is a new doctoral research study led by a researcher at the University of East Anglia, now seeking volunteers.  

Living with Chronic Cluster Headache means there is no respite from attacks of excruciating pain day and night, year after year. This study aims to examine how sleep deprivation affects the quality of life of people with Chronic Cluster Headache (CCH).  

The researchers are looking for participants who live in the UK, are over 18 years old and have been diagnosed with CCH by a neurologist.  For more information and details of how to take part in the study,  please check the study recruitment poster and the Lay Summary of the study.

By listening to CCH sufferers and looking at their sleep data, the study hopes to understand how sleep is affected in CCH sufferers. This may help doctors and psychologists find better ways to support and treat people with CCH in the future.

The results of the study will be written up for the University of East Anglia as a report which will be also published in a science journal.
