The migraine headache history collects information about the symptom you're experiencing and about the way headache is affecting your life. The information may be gathered during the initial doctor visit in a written questionnaire or directly during the initial doctor visit in a written questionnaire or directly during a one-on-one interview. The history helps the doctor make a diagnosis and serves as a base line for later assessments of your condition (for more information on the headache history).

The doctor will base much of your treatment on how frequent or severe your signs and symptom are and which are the most bothersome. It's also important for your doctor to know from the diagnosis whether another medical condition is causing your headache. Taking migraine medications when your headache is caused by something else, such as infection, can be dangerous. Pain relief may disguise the true reason for the pain and prevent proper treatment for a serious, perhaps even life-threatening, problem.

Sometimes you and your doctor may have to try more than one type of medication or lifestyle change before deciding on the right treatment or the right combination of treatments. But with time and patience, you can definitely be cured of your migraine headache.
