Abstract
A preemptive prophylaxis migraine method uses the following cognitive tests: Simple Reaction Time; Running Memory Continuous Performance Task; Matching to Sample; Mathematical Processing Task; and interprets the results as a percent of baseline indicator of need for prophylaxis. A preemptive prophylaxis migraine device includes a microprocessor having a memory; the aforementioned cognitive tests loaded into the memory; means for computing the score on a trial of these tests to establish a baseline, for storing the baseline in the memory, for computing the score of a subsequent trial of the tests, and for comparing the same to the stored baseline; and means for indicating a cognitive change.
