Abstract:
In migraine attack treatment analgesics such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and triptans can be utilized. The efficacy of acute attack treatment is relevant to prevent migraine chronification. For prophylactic treatment β‑blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, flunarizine, antiepileptics and onabotulinumtoxin A are available. There is evidence that some other substances (e. g. sartans) are also efficacious in this regard. Furthermore, nondrug approaches are essential in migraine therapy. Early education and prophylactic treatment of patients at risk may prevent from medication overuse headache. Noninvasive neuromodulatory approaches as supraorbital or vagal nerve stimulation are emerging methods for prophylactic treatment. Ongoing clinical trials investigate an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonist for acute treatment and several prophylactic monoclonal CGRP or CGRP receptor-antibodies regarding safety, side effects and efficacy as new therapeutic options.
