The present invention relates to methods for selecting a headache patient responsive to treatment with an anti-CGRP antibody and to methods for reducing headache frequency in the selected patient comprising administering an anti-CGRP antibody.

Methods for reducing migraine frequency in a subject in need thereof

Apparatus and methods for producing narrow-band radiation in the green region of the visible spectrum are described. The narrow-band radiation may be used to aid subjects experiencing photophobia. In some cases, subjects may experience a reduction in pain (e.g., migraine photophobia) when using the narrow-band radiation.

Method and apparatus for managing photophobia and migraine photophobia

A method for treating a headache by selecting a patient determined to be responsive to administration of a botulinum neurotoxin for treatment of a headache by determining that the patient has or has a propensity to have an imploding headache and/or an ocular headache pain and administering a botulinum toxin to the patient, thereby treating the headache. A method for selecting from a population of patients with headache or with a propensity to have a headache, those patients whose headache will respond to administration of a botulinum neurotoxin by identifying from a population of patients with headache or with a propensity to have a headache those patients who have or who have a propensity to have an imploding headache pain and/or an ocular headache pain.
