Comparative Study
Validation of a brief nurse-administered migraine assessment tool.
To validate a brief tool for screening migraine. ⋯ This study showed good reliability and stability of a new, brief, nurse-administered migraine questionnaire.

This suggests the need for repeat questioning about analgesic overuse on subsequent appointments to ensure absence of analgesic overuse headache.
