Diagnosing the Type of Headache A primary headache is not a symptom of an underlying disease or condition. For primary headaches, headache trigger trackers and headache diaries can be effective tools to help diagnosis the cause of your headaches.
Atypical migraines generally skip the aura phase. This phase would typically include flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling in the extremities. Instead of aura signaling the start of a migraine, an atypical migraine abruptly begins with headache pain. Researchers have yet to determine how many people are affected.
Migraine with aura (also called classic migraine) is a recurring headache that strikes after or at the same time as sensory disturbances called aura. These disturbances can include flashes of light, blind spots, and other vision changes or tingling in your hand or face.
Episodic migraine (EM) is characterized by those with migraine who have 0 to 14 headache days per month, while chronic migraine (CM) is characterized by 15 or more headache days per month.
