Migraine Headache Diagnosis

Diagnosis

You decide to make that doctor’s appointment. Prepare yourself

for a whole battery of questions because the doctor will want to

scrutinize every detail you provide. A patient’s history is frequently

the first line of questioning and can be an effective diagnostic tool if

the doctor is thorough in his questioning and the patient is truthful and

willing to take part in his/her treatment.

Making the correct headache diagnosis is crucial; without it,

treatment is next to impossible. The most vital aspect then of the

headache assessment is the patient’s headache history which only the

patient (or his parents, if the headache sufferer is a child) can provide.

Just like the principles that guide journalists as to the why,

where, what, when and how of news reporting, a patient’s headache

history will include the same information, including his feelings when

the headache begins.
