A member asked:
What does a complete neurologicsal evaluation for frequent headaches consist of? what type of neurological tests and other procedures will be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Imaging study of the brain is warranted. I screen patients for medical conditions that can provoke or cause headache if they report problems that could suggest so. This requires asking the right questions whenever interviewing a patient. Sometimes, the answer is never found, some people just have headaches. There is a condition called new daily persistent headache that is not well understood.
