NLP Headache Open: an Open Internet-based Survey and Natural Language Processing Project Analysing Written Monologues by Headache Patients

Digital solutions such as natural language processing (NLP) may be of aid to understand the linguistic aspects of headache attack and headache related disability descriptions by patients.
