Migraine diary

You can use the form to make a note of what happened on days when you have a migraine, such as:

• Did you feel stressed out?
• Did you have trouble sleeping?
• What did you eat or drink?

You can describe the migraine attacks in greater detail, including

• what time the pain started,
• how long the attack lasted, and
• how severe the headache was.

It is also important to record

• whether you took medication,
• and – if so – what kind of medication and how much.

Migraine diaries not only help you to find possible migraine triggers. They can also help you to find out more about your migraines – like whether they are chronic. You can see how often the attacks occur – and how frequently you take medication.

Keeping a migraine diary can also be helpful if it's not absolutely clear whether you have migraines or another type of headache – such as cluster headaches.

To get an even better overview, you can also mark the days on your calendar when you had a headache, as well as the days when you took medication, for example. Or you can try a digital diary (app) if you prefer.
