Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Migraine is a prevalent and disabling primary headache disorder.
  • Affects about 12% of Caucasian populations, impacting quality of life.
  • Management involves lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of migraine management.
  • To discuss non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment strategies.
  • To highlight advances in acute migraine therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of migraine treatment modalities.
  • Analysis of preventive and acute care approaches.
  • Focus on serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists (triptans).

Main Results:

  • Non-pharmacological strategies focus on trigger avoidance.
  • Preventive treatment is based on attack frequency and response to acute care.
  • Triptans represent a significant advancement in acute migraine treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Migraine management requires a tailored approach based on individual patient needs.
  • Triptans offer effective acute treatment for migraine attacks.
  • Analgesic overuse can lead to chronic daily headache and disability.
