To study the effi cacy of the Comprehensive Headache Clinic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: There were 302 patients who presented at the Headache clinic between July 2011 and January 2012. The effi cacy of treatment was evaluated with questionnaires including Headache Impact Test TM (HIT-6 TM), Pain Score, and Headache frequency per week. RESULTS: Of the 302 cases, 113 (37.42%) completed a four-week followup. The effi cacy of treatment was analysed by using Paired T-test. The impact of headache symptoms, the severity, and the frequency of headache per week had decreased signifi cantly from a statistical point of view. HIT-6 TM Score day 0 = 62±5.66, day 28 = 52±7.15 (p < 0.01, t = 2.13), Pain Score day 0 = 7±1.92, day 28 = 3±2.46 (p < 0.01, t = 1.96), Headache frequency per week day 0 = 3±2.68, day 28 = 1±1.87 (p < 0.01, t = 2.58). CONCLUSION: Findings from the Comprehensive Headache Clinic signifi cantly demonstrate effi cacy in reducing severity, frequency, and the impact of headache symptoms on patients' daily lives.
