There is a real need for physicians to learn to ask the right questions when caring for migraine patients, according to an Ortho-McNeil Neurologics-funded study. The new results are from phase two of the study, which tested the effectiveness of new communication techniques after phase one showed the need for improved communication. In the latest phase, clinicians asked more open-ended questions. The study found that 55% of office visits contained open-ended questions about how migraines affect patients' daily activities during and between attacks, and as a result, 75% of patients shared their personal experiences. Following the visit, 94% of patients said they learned valuable information because of the increased dialogue, and 89% said they learned information that they would not have learned otherwise.
