Getting Ahead of the Pain: Preventive Options for Migraine

Podcast Episodes

Many patients with migraine may be candidates for preventive pharmacotherapies—either in addition to or in place of acute options. With an expanding range of preventive agents, choosing the optimal one for individual patients can become confusing. In this podcast episode, 2 experts in migraine provide clinical pearls focused on preventing migraine. Listen as they discuss patient factors that indicate preventive treatment is warranted, the range of available preventive treatments and their use in practice, and strategies for engaging patients in their care.
