Frequently Asked QuestionsGeneral FAQ's
| Q: | Are the iHeadache reports easy to understand? |
| A: | The reports are written with the intent that your physician will analyze the data and utilize it in order to optimize your treatment plan. However, we want the patient to find them useful too. They are formatted so that the data is summarized, clearly labeled, easy to read and easy to understand. View a sample report. |

| Q. | Why doesn't iHeadache track sinus headaches? |
| A. | In the SUMMIT study, the largest medical study on sinus headaches, 3000 patients who saw their regular physician for recurrent sinus headaches were studied. The study found that 88% of the patients who originally thought they had sinus headaches actually had migraines or probable migraines. A smaller number of them had tension headaches. Only 8 patients out of 3000 had underlying sinus disease and were having sinus headaches. Therefore, iHeadache attempts to determine if the recurrent sinus headaches meet criteria for Tension, Probable Migraine, or Migraine Headache. You can read more about sinus headaches here. |

iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch FAQs
| Q: | Do I need internet access on my iPod Touch to use iHeadache? |
| A: | If you are running iHeadache on an iPod Touch or iPad then once it is installed you do not need internet access to run the app. You will need internet access if you want to install the app directly to the iPod Touch or iPad. If you install the app via iTunes and sync your iPod or iPad with your computer then you just need a computer that has internet access. Click here for instructions on installing apps. If you desire to email your reports from the device then you will need internet access. A monthly internet plan from a cellular procider is not necessary if you are buying an iPod touch or iPad only to run iHeadache because Wifi access is widely available. |

| Q: | What documentation is available to help me understand how to use iHeadache? |
| A: | Video tutorials are available on entering a headache, setting up your medication profile, and running reports. We also have a quick start guide and a users manual which are both available in PDF. |

|
|
| Q: | I am having trouble saving notes. |
| A: | In earlier versions of iHeadache, special characters like apostrophe (') and ampersant (&) prevented notes from saving. This was corrected in version 1.3. If you are having this problem please install our most recent update. |
|
|
|
| Q: | Emailing reports are incomplete. What is causing this? |
| A: | In older versions of iHeadache there was an issue when an ampersand character (&) was in the notes field. It prevented the "email report" feature from sending a complete report. This was a bug in the interaction between iHeadache and the Mail application. It has been fixed in later versions of iHeadache. If you are having this problem, go to the App Store and load the update for iHeadache. |
