Types of Migraines: What Patients Should Know
Unlike headaches, migraines can cause prolonged bouts of head pain and other symptoms. Migraines affect people of all ages and are usually managed with different types of medication and other therapies.
A migraine diagnosis typically includes a physical exam, symptoms assessment, and diagnostic scans. With DrOwl, you can easily access the results of medical tests and exams from a mobile device or computer. Patients can also gain a greater understanding of their health records thanks to DrOwl’s AI-powered translation tool.
