A study used an electronic diary system to allow people with migraine to log symptoms throughout the day, and retrospectively analysed the association of premonitory symptoms with the emergence of headache symptoms.[Giffin et al., 2003] The study concluded that people with migraine can accurately predict the occurrence of migraine headache by the appearance of certain premonitory symptoms.[Giffin et al., 2003] The most common premonitory symptoms were fatigue (72% of attacks), concentration difficulties (51% of attacks), and stiff neck (50% of attacks).[Giffin et al., 2003]
