This intervention, called the Wireless Headache Intervention (WHI), will uniquely be delivered entirely over the iPhone and the computer.

They are now testing one of the components of this intervention as the iPhone headache diary (the WHI diary). This diary is intended to help headache sufferers become more aware of their headache patterns and monitor their progress over the treatment. They are now testing the diary and recruiting participants anywhere in the world to take part in the online study. Individuals between the ages of 14-28 with recurrent headache problems and who have an iPhone are encouraged to participate.

I am SO aware of my headache patterns...like clockwork. I'm not sure I know of any CH sufferer who isn't aware of their patterns, triggers and abort times. Probably a good study for stress related headaches, but stress is a nonstarter for me. lance
