Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Evaluation of headache can be summarized by the OPQRSTU mnemonic. Query the patient regarding: onset, provokes/palliates, quality, radiates, severity, timing, and under treatment.
  • The physical examination focuses on excluding secondary causes of the headache. The neurologic examination is most important, and particular attention should be paid to the eyes.
  • Results of the history and physical examination will dictate the need for further workup.
