Purpose Of Review:
To review recent advances in preventive headache treatment.
Recent Findings:
Migraine may be a progressive disorder. Aggressive treatment may stop progression. Propranolol, the beta-blocker, and the anticonvulsant topiramate are effective for migraine prevention. Feverfew, montelukast and acupuncture have not proven effective.
Summary:
New drugs and other treatment strategies expand the spectrum of preventive migraine treatments.
