This simple three-question test, called ID Migraine, can identify patients with migraine with about the same accuracy as widely used screening tests for other illnesses.
-
Has a headache limited your activities for a day or more in the last three months?
-
Are you nauseated or sick to your stomach when you have a headache?
-
Does light bother you when you have a headache?
If you answered "yes" to two of the three questions, there is a strong chance you may be suffering from migraines.
**Although this may be a reliable tool for identifying patients with migraine you should talk to your doctor to be sure that no other more serious condition is causing your headaches. Call our office for an appointment at (919) 781-7423.
