Mean duration of prodromes was significantly shorter than attacks, and prodromes overlapped the attack in 24.3% of cases. The study highlights the predictive value of prodromes as forecasters of attacks.[[2], [4]] It affirms that patients can clearly distinguish prodromes from attacks. [Extracted from the article] |
