As outlined on the slide, diaries are a powerful tool for identifying potential trigger factors.[Migraine Trust] Once triggers are identified, it is possible to consider changes to avoid those triggers.[Migraine Trust; Kelman, 2007] However, depending on the nature of the trigger factors, it may be that avoiding exposure to the trigger causes severe lifestyle restrictions.[Kelman, 2007]
