Neurological Symptom Self-Assessments
in Calabasas, CA
Before you can explain it to anyone else, it helps to put it into words.
These four short questionnaires are widely used by clinicians to describe dizziness, headaches, autonomic symptoms and post-concussion symptoms. Dr. Alireza Chizari, DC, DACNB, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist, may review results like these with you to help guide your first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which self-assessment should I take first?
Start with the one that matches the symptom bothering you most — use the symptom picker above if you’re not sure. Many people’s symptoms overlap, so it’s common to take two. For example, after a concussion both the post-concussion and dizziness questionnaires can be useful.
Are these online tests a diagnosis?
No. Each one is a validated questionnaire that describes how symptoms affect your life. They can’t identify a cause or diagnose a condition — that requires an in-person evaluation with a licensed clinician.
Is my information private?
Yes. Every questionnaire is scored inside your own browser. Your answers are not stored or sent to California Brain & Spine Center or anyone else. You can print your result or save it as a PDF.
How long do the self-assessments take?
Between about one and five minutes each. The Headache Impact Test is the shortest at six questions; the autonomic symptom questionnaire is the longest, though its built-in skip logic often shortens it.
What should I do with my results in Calabasas?
Bring them to your visit. At our Calabasas clinic, Dr. Chizari reviews questionnaire results alongside a full history and neurological examination to help decide whether functional neurology care is appropriate for you, or whether a referral to your primary care provider or a medical neurologist is the better step.
