Feature Request: Multi-day migraine attacks are not represented accurately in Migraine Listing reports

Currently, Migraine Listing reports display one row per migraine attack, organized by the attack start date.

This works reasonably well for short, discrete attacks, but it does not accurately represent multi-day attacks. Pain intensity, medication administration, treatment response, symptoms, functional impact, and other details can change substantially over the course of a prolonged episode.

At present, all of that information is collapsed into a single row associated with the attack start date. This makes it difficult to understand what actually happened on each day of the episode and can create a misleading clinical picture.

Suggested improvement:

  1. Keep the existing Migraine Listing as an episode-level summary, but make it clear that multi-day rows summarize the entire episode.

For multi-day attacks, consider including:

  • Start date/time
  • End date/time
  • Duration
  • Peak pain
  • Pain range or pain progression
  • Number of medication administrations
  • Number of medication days
  • Number of functionally affected days
  • Symptoms reported during the episode
  • A way to view the detailed timeline within that attack

  • In addition, consider adding a separate “Daily Migraine Detail” or “Migraine Timeline” report.

That report should organize information by calendar date within each attack and preserve the actual date/time of:

  • Pain intensity entries
  • Medication administration
  • Treatment response
  • Symptoms
  • Functional impact
  • Relief methods
  • Notes

The migraine attack itself should remain the parent episode, while these items are displayed as time-based events within that episode.

This would allow the reports to answer two different clinical questions:

  1. Episode-level report:
    How many migraine attacks occurred, how long did they last, and what characterized each episode?

  2. Daily/timeline report:
    What happened on each day during those attacks?

This would be especially important for prolonged or continuous migraine attacks, where one attack can span many calendar days and change significantly over time.
