Patients with migraine should be monitored regularly to assess disability and treatment needs, which may vary over time.[39]​ It is helpful to ask patients to keep a headache diary or calendar to assess triggers, headache frequency and characteristics, other symptoms, and medication use (including effectiveness).[34][129] Adherence to drug therapy, treatment goals, and complications (e.g., mood disorders) should be explored at each follow-up visit.[39][82]​​ The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Questionnaire is a validated 5-question tool giving the clinician an objective evaluation of headache-related impact on a patient’s daily life.[81]
