About This Resource
This is a part of our Headache Toolkit!
Describing your headache experience accurately is really important to your healthcare provider because it helps to figure out what kind of headaches you have (tension, migraine, etc), and what treatments could be most helpful to you. This checklist helps you break your headache pain down into the information you and your doc need to know to figure things out.
