Minimize morbidity with prophylactic migraine management
摘要
Identifying ways of averting disabling migraine attacks would be extremely valuable. Long-term preventive therapy is an accepted approach, but even when it is offered, adherence is poor. Prophylactic therapy based on premonitory symptoms (PSs), such as yawning and irritability, that precede migraine in many patients has received little attention, partly because PSs are difficult to define. Recent well-designed studies in calcitonin gene-related peptide pathway antagonists found galcanezumab for 3 months or ubrogepant during PSs reduced headaches in patients with PSs. More studies of migraine PSs are warranted.
