Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate patient satisfaction with a specialist consultation for headache and thus identify subgroups of headache patients more satisfied than others.

DESIGN

A survey of consecutive patients referred to a neurologist for headache.

SETTING

Neurological outpatient clinics in North Norway.

PATIENTS

We included 889 consecutive patients referred to a specialist centre for headache during a period of 2 years. Using a questionnaire, we recorded patients' satisfaction with the potential treatment initiated by the specialist.

RESULTS

Sixty-three percent of migraine patients (95% CI, 0.58 to 0.68) were satisfied with the consultation, compared to 44% of patients with non-migrainous headache (95% CI, 0.40 to 0.70), (p = 0.01). Altogether 481 patients had some kind of measure recommended by the neurologist, and 317 of these (66%) were satisfied (95% CI, 0.62 to 0.70). Patients with tension-type headache and those who were not prescribed specific treatment modalities were less satisfied.

CONCLUSION

The study confirms that patients with headache are satisfied with a neurological specialist consideration, especially in the case of migraine.

摘要

目的

评估患者对头痛专科会诊的满意度，从而确定比其他患者更满意的头痛患者亚组。

设计

对连续转诊至神经科医生处治疗头痛的患者进行调查。

地点

挪威北部的神经科门诊。

患者

我们纳入了在2年期间连续转诊至头痛专科中心的889例患者。通过问卷调查，我们记录了患者对专科医生开始的潜在治疗的满意度。

结果

63%的偏头痛患者（95%可信区间，0.58至0.68）对会诊满意，相比之下，非偏头痛性头痛患者的满意度为44%（95%可信区间，0.40至0.70），（p = 0.01）。共有481例患者接受了神经科医生推荐的某种治疗措施，其中317例（66%）表示满意（95%可信区间，0.62至0.70）。紧张型头痛患者以及未接受特定治疗方式的患者满意度较低。
