Headache disorders are worldwide problems that affect people of all ages. The constant fear of suffering from the next headache attack damages family life, social life and employment. However with headache diaries, they can help people to work together with the doctor to diagnose their headaches and to identify the root causes. It is a very important tool that offers in-depth information about headache triggers and ways to prevent them from occuring.

"In general, it has been estimated that around 47% of the adult population have headache at least once within last year," according to World Health Organization (WHO)

"As headache disorders are caused by a wide range of reasons, identifying the root cause is the key to treat bad headaches. Headache diary is a powerful tool that keeps track of the length, frequency and characteristics of headache attacks. All these information might help the doctors to determine the cause so that they can treat these headaches effectively. Some people think that it is often difficult to update the diary during terrible headaches. But the truth is that headache diaries can be as simple as taking notes on a calendar or as complicated as recording the data into a computer software or spreadsheet," says a spokesperson from IHealthNet.org.

Patients who are keeping a headache log must always remember not to skip any days. Try to keep the headache diary for a few months before going for an initial evaluation with doctor. The best time to log a headache is as soon as the pain resolves or subsides to a manageable level. If you have infrequent headaches, record all the headache details for several months and include all the basic information.

"With modern technologies, you can even use gadgets such as smart phones or the Apple IPad as a headache journal. Always seek help from your doctor first before you attempt any kind of treatments. You should also keep track of information such as exercise, activities, sleep, food and stress to make your diary more useful," adds the spokesperson.
