Patient's question:
What are the examination items for migraine?Doctor's answer:
Migraine commonly affects the greater occipital, auricular-temporal, and supraorbital nerves, while some patients may also experience pain in the lesser occipital and greater auricular nerves. At the superficially exiting sites of peripheral and cranial nerves, a local block test can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic measure based on physical examination findings to further confirm the diagnosis. Before migraine surgery, a cerebral angiography and cervical spine examination are necessary to rule out headaches caused by congenital vascular diseases. Unilateral pulsating headaches that worsen during physical activity can also aid in diagnosis.
