| Abstract | Background Benign headache is a common neurological symptom in both primary care (5% of consultations) and secondary care (20–30% of neurology referrals).Question Does a simple patient information sheet improve headache severity, frequency and impact as measured by the HIT-6 score?Methods A randomised controlled trial (RCT) in an NHS setting.Results The trial terminated early due to incomplete recruitment over a two year period. The information sheet had strong face validity with patients and patient groups but no meaningful conclusions can be drawn because of recruitment problems. One hundred and sixty eight patients were randomised from a projected sample size of 220 and only 62 fully completed the trial.Conclusions We analysed the reasons for trial failure, and they fall into a number of distinct groups: (1) major service configuration/re-orientation occurred concurrently as the trial was run with ‘Choose and Book’ and the ‘18 week targets’ being introduced; (2) our aim was a classical evidence-based superiority trial, whereas the PCT aim was demand management; (3) there was a funding and resource shortfall. Our experience generates discussion about appropriate level of evaluation required for service development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
