Post-test on What’s New in Migraine Therapy: An Update for Primary Care

September 27, 2017

This month’s Special Report post-test allows you to gauge how much you have learned about current approaches to treating migraine headache.

This month’s Special Report offered 2 overviews of current approaches to treating migraine headache – in children/adolescents and in women with menstrual migraine-and a preview of a new generation monoclonal antibodies created to prevent migraine, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors. The authors, all directors of headache clinics, covered topics including:

• Migraine prophylaxis in pediatric patients
• Appropriate use and dosing of OTC analgesics in adolescents
• How to differentiate menstrual migraine from perimenstrual headaches
• Risks and benefits associated with current preventive treatments for migraine
• The science of and promise in the CGRP inhibitor class of preventive migraine drugs

The pretest linked to the Special Report introduction offered a chance to see what you already knew about the treatment of this challenging neurologic disease.
