By the end of the treatment period, the average number of headaches each study participant experienced fell from almost seven headaches per week to just two per week. The average length of a study participant’s headache also decreased by half during the treatment period from an average of 8 hours to an average of 4.

In attention to ergonomics, we noted any devices—and particular settings—that caused pain or discomfort.
