Year: 2009
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Using a naturalistic, longitudinal study design, 219 patients receiving treatment for headache disorders completed psychosocial assessments and 30-day daily diaries that assessed headache frequency, severity, and disability at pre-treatment and provided data on headache-related disability at pre-treatment and 1-, 2-, and 6-month follow-up.Latentclass trajectory analysis of the headache disability measure identified three treatment trajectory groups: (1) a high-disability non-responder group; (2) a high-disability responder group; and (3) a low-disability responder group.
