There’s no test to monitor migraine, but a headache diary makes them visible. Migraine Canada offers both an app and printable templates for tracking.
This resource guides you on what to track—attack frequency, severity, medication use and results, medication overuse, symptoms, menstrual cycles, self-care, preventive effects, and triggers. It also covers how to document medication responses, compares paper vs. app diaries, and explains how this tool helps your healthcare provider create an effective treatment plan.
Choose your diary format, observe closely, and bring it to your appointments!
See our post detailing how our Canadian Migraine Tracker can support your journey with migraine.
Keeping a headache diary is just one of the many lifestyle modifications you can make to improve your migraine. If you are interested, check out our resources on exercise, diet, relaxation, and sleep.
