A simple study of migraine was undertaken in an industrial setting to identify facts about the condition of migraine which had previously been unrecorded in industry. The study was based on a definition of migraine encompassing headache accompanied by visual or gastro-intestinal disturbances. During the period from April 1979 to December 1979 there were 111 separate incidents reported to this department, with 281 working days lost in this period, which would give an average annual loss of 420 working days through migraine. Approximately 6% of the work-force were seen to be affected by migraine. Using a simple treatment it was possible to return the majority of the work-force to the place of work within 1 hour, with no subsequent problem caused to their health, either through migraine or accident.
在一个工业环境中开展了一项关于偏头痛的简单研究，以查明此前在工业领域未记录的偏头痛病情相关事实。该研究基于偏头痛的定义，即伴有视觉或胃肠道紊乱症状的头痛。在1979年4月至1979年12月期间，该部门共收到111起单独病例报告，在此期间损失了281个工作日，照此计算，因偏头痛造成的年平均工作日损失为420天。约6%的劳动力受偏头痛影响。采用一种简单的治疗方法，多数劳动力能够在1小时内返回工作岗位，且后续其健康未因偏头痛或事故出现问题。
