title: Migraine: a better way to recognize and treat it.
abstract: Consider using the Headache Assessment Quiz, which 76% of providers in this study said enabled patients to adequately convey headache severity/symptoms, compared with just 20% of providers at baseline who thought patients communicated clearly. Use the quiz also to better understand the impact of migraine on a patient's life, and to help determine which patients need migraine-specific therapy.
