Doctor-ready headache diary
Headache diary for neurologist visits
Give your neurologist a structured record of what happened: when attacks started, how long they lasted, how intense they were, what you used, and whether it helped.
What to bring to the appointment
Cluster headache history can be hard to explain from memory, especially after weeks of broken sleep. A useful diary gives your clinician a compact view of attack frequency, duration, intensity, timing, and treatment response.
Fields that usually matter
- Attack date, start time, end time, and duration
- KIP-style intensity and whether the attack woke you from sleep
- Medication, oxygen, dose or duration, and response
- Side affected, pain location, autonomic symptoms, and notes
- Potential triggers or context
- CSV export or a printable report for the medical record
Why reports beat scattered notes
The app turns logs into a clean report with summary numbers, charts, and detailed entries. You can print it, save it as a PDF from your browser, export CSV, or create a temporary read-only share link.

The report is patient-entered data. It is designed to make a history easier to review, not to make a diagnosis. Provider-facing notes are available on the neurologist page.
Tracking tool, not medical advice
Cluster Headache Tracker helps you record attacks and prepare reports for clinical conversations. It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or replace care from a qualified clinician.
