Background: A pilot survey of 94 neurologists attending a continuing medical education meeting was performed to assess whether neurologists like to treat headaches and other common disorders and evaluate their personal prevalence of the disorders.
Methods: Physicians were asked to respond to the following statement using a 5-point Likert scale (from 1, strongly disagree to 5, strongly agree): "I like to treat patients with this disease or symptom."
Results: The response rate was 46% with a mean age of 52.
Background: Although "What causes migraine," is one of the most common questions migraineurs ask their physicians, little is known about what response physicians provide, whether migraineurs believe it is important that they be provided information, or which explanation is most informative.
Methods: Seven migraine specialists were personally contacted and a convenience sample of 23 neurologists were surveyed at a meeting to obtain a range of explanations. Four explanations were selected and edited.
Context: Although much has been published on patient complaints about physicians, little is known about patient behaviors that physicians find bothersome.
Objective: To obtain more information about bothersome patient behaviors, we performed a pilot survey of neurologists.
Methods: A survey was performed among neurologists attending the Texas Neurological Society Winter Conference in 2006 in Austin, Texas.
