Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | "The children who attended the first session were matched on age, sex, and baseline headache index and then randomly assigned to either a treatment group or waiting‐list control group." Comment: probably done, method not described |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No description found in text Comment: probably not done |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No description found in text Comment: probably not done |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No dropouts reported in study |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Data were reported fully |
