Is An X-ray Helpful In Diagnosing Migraine?

No. You may rather need a CT-Scan!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these headaches that you have reported. NA Xray is not useful in visualizing the brain or the content of the skull from which your headaches originate. You may need a CT-scan for this. However, the headaches have to be recalcitrant to drugs and raise a suspicion for other disease conditions to warrant this. I will suggest that your doctor evaluates and manages you fully for migraine headaches and if this persist, then we can consider getting a scan to see if there is anything of concern inside the skull.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.


for your response
Can be one as an outpatient exam!
