[Quality of outcome in treating patients with chronic headache within a hospital specialized for migraine. A cohort study with one-year follow-up].
To describe characteristics of in-patients with chronic headache syndromes being treated with complementary methods, short-term effects at time of discharge as well as long-term effects covering a catamnesis of 1 year. ⋯ Taking into account the mean duration of disease of more than 20 years the results suggest a clinically relevant success from the patients' view regarding the short-term as well as the long-term course. The problem of data loss with follow-up queries and missing comparative data reduce the conclusiveness of the results.
