Target Audience
This activity has been designed to address the educational needs of neurologists, headache specialists, select primary care physicians, and other HCPs who manage patients with chronic and episodic migraine.
Statement of Need
The International Headache Society recently introduced updated criteria for diagnosing migraine, including guidelines for distinguishing between episodic and chronic migraine (EM and CM, respectively). The consequences associated with CM are substantially greater than those associated with EM, and thus require different management strategies. The American Headache Society just released updated guidelines regarding the acute treatment of migraine; however, there are no recent guidelines for the prevention of EM and CM. The goals of this initiative are to educate neurologists and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with migraine about the newest guidelines regarding the diagnosis and acute management of migraine, as well as to provide guidance regarding the use of existing and emerging options for the prophylaxis of EM and CM.
Learning Objectives
Upon proper completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Explain the diagnostic criteria of migraine, including how to distinguish between episodic and chronic migraine
- Summarize guidelines for providing acute and preventive treatment to appropriate migraine patients
- Discuss appropriate use of existing and forthcoming therapeutic options for migraine, including proper administration techniques
