Tokyo, July 15 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000058220) titled 'Trial to Evaluate the Impact of a Pharmacy-Based Headache Consultation Program on Pharmacists' Knowledge, Attitude, and Confidence' on July 15.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Uncontrolled

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Wakayama Medical University

Condition: Condition - Headache Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - This trial will first deliver an online training program on headache to pharmacists working in Japanese community pharmacies. After completing the training, a 4-week practice-based intervention will be implemented in which pharmacists integrate a headache consultation tool - comprising a symptom checklist and symptom-specific educational materials - into their routine medication counseling.

The primary objective is to evaluate changes in pharmacists' knowledge about headache, attitudes toward headache counseling, and confidence (Knowledge-Attitude-Confidence; KAC) from pre-training to 4 weeks after the start of the intervention.

Secondary objectives include assessing changes in KAC scores from pre-training to immediately post-training, and from post-training to four weeks after the start of the intervention. In addition, the continuation rate of tool use at 12 weeks and the cumulative number of educational materials distributed by the end of the intervention will be evaluated. Through these evaluations, this trial aims to clarify the educational effectiveness of the headache consultation support program and explore its potential for social implementation in community pharmacies.
