Headache Diaries
The purpose of migraine diaries is to record information about the attacks of migraine and other headaches. This information is valuable in assisting the doctor with diagnosis, assessing trigger factors and assessing the effectiveness of treatments.
We ask all our patients to complete diaries and bring them in for their first appointment. All patients are also asked to complete diaries following their first appointment. These will be assesses at the follow up visit.
We have two types of headache diaries: one monthly diary and one annual diary. Both diaries are very easy to use and you can download them along with full instructions by clicking below. You need the program Adobe Acrobat to read the files.
