Confidential Headache Impact Test

Quantify the Functional Burden of Chronic Headaches and Discover Breakthrough Relief Paths

When chronic migraines, cluster headaches, or intense tension headaches strike, the impact goes far beyond physical pain. They pull you away from your career, strain family relationships, leave you exhausted, and frequently leave you trapped in darkened rooms waiting for relief. If standard triptans, beta-blockers, or preventative injections have stopped protecting your baseline, finding out exactly how severely headaches disrupt your capability to operate is crucial to discovering your next medical step.

The Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) is a validated diagnostic questionnaire developed by a global panel of neurological experts. Unlike simple pain trackers, the HIT-6 looks deeply at your overall quality of life, measuring how frequently headaches cause severe pain, limit social activities, trigger extreme fatigue, limit concentration, or force you to lie down during the day.

Secure, Localized, and Fully Private

• No Identifying Information Gathered: To provide complete confidentiality, this calculator requests no names, email addresses, phone contacts, or medical charts. Every calculation triggers entirely within your active browser layer—nothing is transmitted back to our servers or logged.

• Instant Clinical Score: The tool automatically translates your selections into the specific point matrix required by the official HIT-6 framework, providing a clear functional status score ranging from 36 to 78.

• An Innovative Reset for Intractable Migraines: When head pain becomes chronic, it often means the brain's pain-processing pathways have become hyper-sensitized. Intravenous (IV) Ketamine Infusion Therapy functions as a potent NMDA receptor antagonist, working to directly disrupt hyper-reactive neurological pain loops, quiet neuro-inflammation, and provide deep relief for patients struggling with treatment-resistant or intractable migraines.
