Who we are
At The Cluster Headache Project, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all visitors to our website. We want to let you know that The Cluster Headache Project shall never sell, rent, or trade e-mail addresses or contents of received e-mails with other organisations or businesses for marketing or research purposes.
The owner of this website is Jade, a BSc Psychology student at university who lives with chronic cluster headache and migraine. In her spare time, Jade uses digital media to generate awareness of cluster headache, and reaches out to the wider patient community to help share their experiences. She has also aided in projects run by other cluster headache patients, such as editing and animating the 'Seven Commandments Video' for OUCH (UK) in alliance with the European Headache Alliance's 2016 'Under the Hat' campaign. Her studies have led Jade to be interested in health psychology and chronic pain. Her undergraduate research paper examines the relationship between illness cognitions and health-related quality of life in primary headache patients and their partners.
