0-2 attacks/month = 25 pts (Excellent control) | 3-5 = 18 pts (Good) | 6-10 = 10 pts (Moderate) | 11+ = 3 pts (Needs intervention)
Pain 1-3 = 20 pts (Mild) | 4-5 = 15 pts (Moderate) | 6-7 = 8 pts (Severe) | 8-10 = 2 pts (Extreme)
<2 hours = 15 pts (Short) | 2-4 hrs = 12 pts (Moderate) | 4-8 hrs = 8 pts (Long) | >8 hrs = 3 pts (Very long)
Triptans/specific = 20 pts (Optimal) | Preventive = 18 pts | OTC = 12 pts | None = 0 pts (No treatment)
0 identified = 3 pts | 1-2 = 5 pts | 3-4 = 7 pts | 5+ = 10 pts (Full awareness)
Trigger avoidance (5 pts) + Sleep 7+ hours (3 pts) + No weather sensitivity (2 pts) = up to 10 pts total
80-100 = Excellent control (continue current strategy) | 60-79 = Good control (room for optimization) | 40-59 = Needs attention (consider medical consultation) | 0-39 = Urgent intervention needed (schedule doctor visit)

What you should do next
- Log your attack data above to get 3โ5 specific, actionable next steps based on your migraine pattern.
Important: This tool is for tracking, not medical advice. Go to the emergency room immediately if you experience a sudden "thunderclap" headache (the worst headache of your life), headache with fever and stiff neck, headache after a head injury, or headache with vision loss, weakness, or speech difficulty โ these can signal a medical emergency. Always consult your doctor before starting or changing preventive migraine medications.
