Abstract
Summary: Headache sufferers (n = 30) reported significantly more immediate family members with headache, compared to controls (n = 22). Sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency analyses revealed that knowledge of family headache history has predictive value. The results are consistent with findings with other pain disorders.Keywords
