• Has a headache limited your activities for a day or more in the last 3 months?

• Do you feel nauseous or are you sick when you have a headache?

• Does light bother you when you have a headache?

The Migraine Screen Questionnaire is an alternative tool comprising five questions.[39]Eigenbrodt AK, Ashina H, Khan S, et al. Diagnosis and management of migraine in ten steps.
