Guideline, July 1995

The neurologist has long been a resource for patients with headache by excluding serious underlying causes, confirming a correct diagnosis, and planning an effective management strategy. If the EEG is used for patients with headache in some geographic areas or clinical settings and not in others, patient outcome from the use of this test and how it relates to the neurologist’s role in headache management must be explored.
