Migraine Prevention Screening Test

To assist in educating you about migraine prevention, the NHF and Abbott Laboratories worked together to develop a new tool to help you understand the benefits of preventive treatment and guide you in talking with your healthcare provider.

The migraine prevention-screening tool was developed based on the U.S. Headache Consortium guidelines. There are six questions that assess the impact of migraine on your life. To use the tool below, simply click on your answer.

ASK YOURSELF:

1. Do your migraines have a substantial impact on your life?

2. Do you have recurring migraines that significantly interfere with your daily routine?

3. Does the medicine you take during a migraine attack fail to work?

4. Is your monthly migraine medicine become more costly?

5. Does the fear of future migraines keep you from vacations, parties, or having visitors?

6. Are you interested in learning more about preventing your migraines?

If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, you might benefit from preventive treatment. Print a copy of this tool to take to your healthcare provider and discuss whether migraine prevention treatment is right for you.
