Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Bern SIH MRI ScoreBaseline, 3 months

The Bern SIH MRI score is a validated 9-point score assessing the severity of imaging finding suggestive of SIH. Calculated by adding the individual components for a score range of 0-9. Classified as low, intermediate, or high probability of having a CSF leak based on total Bern SIH score of 2 points or fewer (low), 3-4 points (intermediate), or 5 points or more (high).

Change in Headache Impact Test (HIT-6)Baseline, 3 months

HIT-6 is a 6-item validated headache assessment tool designed to provide a global measure of headache impact in social functioning, role functioning, vitality, cognition, psychological distress, and severity of headache. Total score ranges 36-78: 36-49: little or no impact; 50-55 some impact; 56-59 substantial impact; \>60 severe impact.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)Baseline, 3 months

Subjects are asked to rate pain intensity in the past 7 days using a scale of 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst imaginable pain.

Change in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS)Baseline, 3 months

MIDAS 5-item questionnaire to measure the impact of headaches on life. Subjects indicate how many days headaches have impacted a specific activity. Score ranges: 0-5: little or no disability; 6-10: mild disability; 11-20: moderate disability: 21+ severe disability.
