Diagnosis Tool
Disclaimer:
The above tool does not establish a diagnosis of migraine, but only shows if the symptoms provided met the headache characteristics and associated symptoms required for a diagnosis of migraine without aura or probable migraine. A diagnosis of migraine without aura or probable migraine typically has a normal neurological & fundoscopic exam and no red flags for a secondary headache disorder. If red flags are present then an appropriate evaluation has been done to rule out secondary headache disorders. The diagnostic criteria also require 5 attacks during a person’s lifetime and that there is not some other headache disorder that better accounts for the headaches. This tool will not help identify those with aura.
