Heading Off the Pain: Acute Treatment of Migraine

Podcast Episodes

Migraine can be a difficult disease to diagnose and, as a result, may be difficult to treat. In this 30-minute podcast, 2 experts in migraine provide valuable information on the differential diagnosis of migraine, including screening tools and techniques to incorporate into your practice. Additionally, they detail acute treatment options ranging from nonpharmacologic to over-the-counter to novel prescription pharmacologic therapies and discuss their use in the acute migraine management paradigm.
