When should a neurologist be involved?
Short answer
Neurology involvement is appropriate when a diagnosis is unclear, when features suggest something other than migraine, when management is not producing adequate results, or when specialty medical therapies are indicated.
More detail
Precision Health works alongside primary care and neurology. Referral is made or coordinated when a specialist's tools — advanced diagnostics, prescriptions, procedures — are the right next step.
Bringing neurology in earlier rather than later is often the right choice for atypical, escalating, or particularly disabling patterns.
