I guess for me a Headache rating is the pain rating plus the psycholical aspect divided by 2.
Example: Pain goes from 0 to 10 in 5 minutes. If I abort the HA in 10 or 15 minutes the psychological result of the pain is a 5 or 6. The headache as a whole was a 6 or 7.
Pain goes from 0 to 10 in 5 minutes. I can't abort the HA and it last 2 hours. The psychological aspect is 10. The headache as a whole was a 10.
We need to be clear if we're talking about pain or the whole effect of the HA.
