Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is looking at the link between BMI and chronic headache after traumatic brain injury — given my own BMI and TBI history, is this the kind of research my doctor thinks could be relevant to understanding my headaches?
2Since this trial's recruitment status is listed as 'unknown,' can you help me find out whether it's still actively enrolling patients or if it has already closed?
3This study seems to be observational, meaning it's measuring a relationship rather than testing a treatment — does that mean participating would involve monitoring and data collection rather than receiving any new therapy, and how would that fit into my current care?
4If there does turn out to be a connection between BMI and post-TBI chronic headache, would that change any of the treatment or lifestyle options my doctor might recommend for me right now?
5Are there other studies or standard treatment approaches already available for managing chronic headache after traumatic brain injury that might be worth pursuing alongside or instead of joining an observational study like this one?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
