ABSTRACT |
Headache is a most common complaint in neurological outpatient clinic. It has diverse underlying causes and numerous patterns of presentation. All headaches can be divided into primary and secondary headaches. More than ninety percent of headaches seen in clinical practice are due to primary headaches-most of them are tension type headache or migraine-where there are no confirmatory tests. A comprehensive history taking is critical for the correct diagnosis. Headache history taking is an art that needs constant practice. This review aims to discuss the way to go about taking a quick and correct history in headache patients. |
