Figure 1

Diagram of participant recruitment and enrollment. Women between 18 and 50 years with a history of episodic migraine were recruited from the local community in the Eugene-Springfield and Portland areas in Oregon. From 132 inquiries, 108 interested individuals proceeded to initial enrollment. 69 potential subjects were deemed eligible (meeting the study criteria and not meeting the exclusion criteria), and 31 subjects subsequently were enrolled. 21 qualified subjects participated in the study, completing their headache logs for at least 6 of the 8 months of the study. Nineteen of these subjects also completed QoL surveys for at least 4 months of the study (see Table 1).
