Description
Subset of data on migraine treatments collected by Tammy Kostecki-Dillon.source
Personal communication from Georges Monette (and adapted from his description of the data).Details
The data consist of headache logs kept by 133 patients in a treatment program in which bio-feedback
was used to attempt to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
Patients entered the program at different times over a period of about 3 years.
Patients were encouraged to begin their logs four weeks before the onset of treatment
and to continue for one month afterwards,
but only 55 patients have data preceding the onset of treatment.References
