Kruise, D.A., Sorbi, M.J., Bensing, J.M., Dulmen, A.M. van, Spreeuwenberg, P.M.M. Electronic guidance of behaviour relevant to migraine: a pilot in low back pain. In: E.G.M. Couturier; M.J. Sorbi; E.C.B. Verspui. Headache and migraine. Utrecht: Anglo Dutch Migraine Association. 2004. p. 125-133.
The present paper covers a pilot study, which is being conducted at the Netherlands Institute for
Health Services Research (NIVEL) in collaboration with the Utrecht University Health Psychology
Department, on the feasibility of linking an electronic diary (employed by patients to monitor their
disease) through 'smart phone' data transmission to the Internet. The Internet facility permits a
clinical coach to review the data instantly and to provide online feedback, support and
self-management tips in direct respondse to the patients' actual state. The pilot study, conducted
in low back pain, is of direct relevance to migraine. (aut. ref.)
