💡 Tip of the Day: Look beyond the headache.
When taking a migraine history, don’t focus solely on what happens during the attack. Ask your patient what they notice in the hours — or even days — beforehand.
🧠 Changes in concentration, energy, mood, appetite or sensitivity to light and sound may help you build a more complete picture of their migraine experience.
Sometimes, what a patient believes is a “trigger” may actually be part of the migraine process already underway.
🔍 Better questions can uncover valuable clinical information.
