In addition to clinico-neurological, questionnaire and thermographic methods, the study employed visual analog pain scale, tests of segmentary vegetative apparatuses (6 cardiovascular tests and time of pupil cycle), psychological tests ( MIL, Spilberger's). Differential approaches to migraine forms are advocated, basic principles of optimal therapy of migraine cephalalgia are formulated.
