Art of selecting antimigrenous therapy. Treatment of migraine attack

Abstract

Acute migraine treatment is challenging. Migraine medications are effective in two out of the three attacks only. Individual response to an analgesics is difficult predictable. Migraine attack treatment is often ineffective on account of non-compliance with the rules for the use of analgesics. Acute migraine medications should be used as early as possible after the onset of headache phase. The effective choice for a migraine patient depends on the severity of the attacks, associated symptoms particularly nausea and vomiting, comorbid disorders, and the individual patient's response. A stratified approach based on the patient’s therapeutic needs has been discussed.
