Migraine is a common primary headache disorder that has a negative impact on patients' lives and can potentially lead to disability. There are multiple treatment options available, and the management process is complex.
Migraine is a prevalent primary headache disorder characterized by episodic attacks. It affects more than 1 billion people worldwide. Because of its episodic nature and varying symptomology, migraine is often underdiagnosed and undertreated in the primary care setting. Migraine is often disabling, and the negative burden of migraine impacts financial, socioeconomic, and personal aspects of the client's life. Several treatments are available for acute migraine attacks, including a few novel medications. The management of migraine is complex and involves both acute treatment and prevention. Ultimately, accurate assessment, diagnosis, and collaboration lead to a more optimal course of treatment and management. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
