Using natural language processing to automatically classify written self-reported narratives by patients with migraine or cluster headache.
Abstract
Headache medicine is largely based on detailed history taking by physicians analysing patients' descriptions of headache. Natural language processing (NLP) structures and processes linguistic data into quantifiable units. In this study, we apply these digital techniques on self-reported narratives by patients with headache disorders to research the potential of analysing and automatically classifying human-generated text and information extraction in clinical contexts.
