Top 10 Web Sites for General Migraine Information
(100 points maximum)
Rating: Site
85
JAMA Migraine Information Center (JAMA Migraine Information Center, 2000)
Excellent overview of migraine that combines news updates, general information and links to other relevant web sites. A great "first stop" for any migraine patient.
85
Migraine Diagnosis (David C. Haas, 2000)
Well written overview of the migraine for knowledgeable patients. Outstanding visual effects of aura as well as graphical data presentations. Excellent references.
80
AMA Health Insight: Migraine (American Medical Association, 1999)
A well organzied medical overview of migraine.
80
Ronda's Migraine Page (Ronda Solberg, 1996)
An interesting and successful mix of information from a patient's perspective and reviewed references to more technical medical sites.
80
Women's Health Interactive: Headache Center | Migraine Headache (Womens-health.com, 1999)
Although supposedly intended for women, the majority of the information on this site
applies to both sexes. The "assessment questionnaire", for example, can
be useful as a teaching tool for both sexes. A calendar-based headache diary is also
provided.
65
Migraine Awareness Group MAGNUM (Migraine Awareness Group, 2000)
This site is relatively weak on scientific issues but it is an excellent starting point for patients with migraine.
60
Do you have a migraine? (American Council for Headache
Education, 1996)
An excellent site geared to patients interested in headache prevention and treatment.
The subsection on migraine is well written but not as easily accessible as it could be. A headache diary and a variety of other patient-oriented information on the general topic of headache are also provided.
60
Migraines ~ You Are Not Alone (Karen Cohen, 2000)
An excellent, wide assortment of information and links for migraine patients. The site could be better organized but is well worth the effort for the interested migraineur.
55
Discovery Health: Headaches (Discovery Health Media, Inc., 2000)
A subsection of an excellent general headache site focused on migraine. The site is best for individuals who already know their headache diagnosis.
55
Migraine Action Association (Migraine Action Association, 1998)
The home page of the British non-profit association. This is an excellent site for all migraineurs.
