title: The optimal length of headache recording in juvenile migraine patients.
abstract: The representativeness of headache recording periods of one, two, three, four and five weeks for juvenile migraine was examined in 41 juvenile patients (suffering from migraine attacks at least twice a month). At pre-treatment and at follow-up, on average a three-week recording period was found to be adequate. On the basis of these findings a longer data-collection period is recommended for juvenile migraineurs than for adult migraine patients at follow-up.
