Abstract
Evaluation of the headache patient requires a reasonable history and physical examination supported by some knowledge of common headache disorders and their presentations. The diagnostician requires the ability to recognize serious headache disorders based on a working knowledge of the principles of clinical neurology. This article outlines the salient points to consider in the process of headache assessment, based on a clinical overview analysis of the characteristics of several headache disorders.
