Cluster headache from the patient's point of view.
The medical literature provides few opportunities for physicians to read and reflect on detailed, first-hand narratives of individual patient experiences. The author invited patients with cluster headache to respond in writing to a series of open-ended questions about their experience with the illness. The patient responses provide important information for physicians and others who seek a more complete understanding of cluster headache.
