What data does a neurologist need for migraine assessment?
Neurologists evaluating complex or treatment-resistant migraines need detailed longitudinal data: attack frequency and duration over 3–6 months, aura characteristics (visual, sensory, motor, or speech — relevant for hemiplegic migraine and migraine with aura), a complete medication history including all triptans and any CGRP-targeted therapies tried, current and past prophylaxis with response data, and functional impact scores. The more complete your history, the faster a neurologist can move toward the right diagnosis and treatment plan.
