Optimal migraine treatment is crucial, especially for children, adolescents, women, and the elderly. This review updates diagnostic criteria and emphasizes early intervention for better migraine management.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Migraine treatment remains suboptimal despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology.
  • Specific populations like children, adolescents, women, and the elderly are at higher risk for inadequate therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of migraine diagnosis and treatment strategies.
  • To emphasize the impact of central sensitization and cutaneous allodynia on migraine management.
  • To offer lifecycle-specific recommendations for acute and prophylactic migraine treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of updated International Headache Society diagnostic criteria for migraine.
  • Examination of current evidence on migraine pathophysiology, focusing on central sensitization.
  • Analysis of clinical practice guidelines and recent evidence for treatment efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Central sensitization and cutaneous allodynia represent a paradigm shift in migraine management.
  • Early treatment of migraine before pain becomes severe is supported by evidence.
  • Updated recommendations for acute and prophylactic treatments are provided for all age groups.

Conclusions:

  • Optimizing migraine treatment requires adherence to updated criteria and understanding of pathophysiology.
  • Lifecycle-specific management, including early intervention, is key to improving patient outcomes.
  • Future treatments may involve novel approaches like calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonists.
