Forensic Migraine Workup Guide
A Pattern-Seeking Framework for Persistent Migraine
Most migraine evaluations rule out danger. Few map layered interaction.
Investigative framework for migraines that remain unexplained.
- Immune / inflammatory testing
- Histamine & detox pathways
- Structural & vascular evaluation
- Sleep and stress physiology
- Coagulation and blood flow risk
Large review articles show migraine often co-exists with immune-driven neuroinflammation, metabolic disturbances, and vascular/endothelial changes.[1-3] That's why thorough evaluations look at these body-wide layers instead of only scanning the brain.

Forensic Migraine Workup FAQ
What is the Forensic Migraine Workup Guide?
The Forensic Migraine Workup Guide is a step-by-step investigation framework for people whose migraines persist despite standard evaluations. It helps you map immune and inflammatory markers, histamine and detox pathways, structural and vascular findings, sleep and stress physiology, and clotting or blood-flow risk, then see how those layers interact in your specific case. It does not order tests or give treatment.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is designed for adults with recurring or chronic migraine whose basic labs and imaging have been called "normal," or whose medications are only partially working. It is especially useful if you are ready to track patterns, gather past test results, and work with a clinician to explore root-cause mechanisms rather than just switching between drugs.
Does this replace seeing a neurologist or other clinician?
No. The guide is an educational and pattern-recognition tool, not medical care. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or tell you which medications to take or stop. Instead, it helps you organize questions, test results, and symptom patterns so your neurologist, primary-care clinician, or other licensed provider can make more informed decisions with you.
What kinds of tests and patterns does the guide help me interpret?
The guide focuses on how to think about broad physiologic layers: immune and inflammatory markers, nutrient and metabolic labs, histamine and detox pathways, hormone timing, structural and vascular imaging, sleep and breathing studies, and coagulation or blood-flow risk markers. It shows you how to assemble these into a coherent story with your clinician, not how to self-treat. If you have not done basic labs yet, the Baseline Test List is the best starting point.
