Abstract:
Migraine is a chronic neurological condition with heterogeneous presentation. It is associated with significant pain, disability, and diminished quality of life in a large proportion of patients. Patients with severe and/or frequent migraines require prophylaxis, which implies daily administration of anti-migraine compounds for several months, with potential adverse events or contraindications. This paper reviews the main factors influencing patient acceptance of anti-migraine prophylaxis, providing practical suggestions to maximize patient agreement with, and adherence to, preventive treatment.
