If you think you are a migraine sufferer, there are a few basic questions you should ask yourself. The questions, known effectively as the MIDAS test, will help you and your health care provider better understand your headaches – a critical first step to effective treatment.
We found this online test, (developed by Richard B. Lipton, MD, Professor of Neurology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY, and Walter F. Stewart, MPH, PhD, Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD) to be a good tool.
If you are a migraine sufferer, we suggest you take the test, grade yourself, and print out the results to take your to your health care provider the next time you see them.
