Methods used for assembling and analysing meterological data in a study of dependence from environmental factors of cluster headache.
The procedure of collecting data for six meteorological parameters and the computerized analysis are described. This method could be interesting for observing the characteristics of the movements during the week prior to the onset of the cluster headache. This time series analysis may also be interesting for the construction of a stochastic model. So, if cluster headache is related to some meterological element, this type of model would forecast the time at which the same situation would likely reoccur and, consequently, the possible time of cluster onset.
