A member asked:
Is there anyway a person can be definitively diagnosed as having migraine headaches, or is it based just on empirical evidence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly by history: Migraine headaches are generally diagnosed by clinical history and a negative evaluation for other causes. Unfortunately, there is no specific test for them.
