To properly diagnose migraines, your neurologist discusses your medical history and symptoms. They complete a physical examination and neurological tests, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and transcranial Doppler (TCD).

CT scans and MRIs can also help your provider find the root cause of headaches and migraines.
