  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Migraine is a prevalent, disabling primary headache disorder.
  • Affects 18% of women and 6% of men, with diverse triggers like stress and foods.
  • Clinical diagnosis is standard, with testing reserved for red flag symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of migraine pathophysiology and genetics.
  • To discuss novel pharmacotherapies for migraine management and prevention.
  • To highlight the importance of individualized treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current research on migraine pathophysiology, genetics, and treatment.
  • Analysis of pharmacotherapies for abortive treatment and prophylaxis.
  • Consideration of integrative medicine and pediatric migraine management.

Main Results:

  • Ongoing research provides new insights into migraine mechanisms.
  • Various effective pharmacotherapies are available for acute and preventive treatment.
  • Individualized treatment plans are crucial due to migraine's complexity.

Conclusions:

  • Migraine management requires personalized approaches due to its heterogeneous nature.
  • Pharmacotherapies offer effective options for both acute and preventive care.
  • Integrative therapies and pediatric considerations are part of comprehensive migraine management.
