[Stabilization treatments of migraine].
Pathophysiology and principles for diagnosis of migraine, in particular ways to obtain an accurate history between attacks, are presented in the introduction. Identification of migraine triggers is an extremely important part of migraine therapy. Selected pain-relieving drugs should include primarily simple analgesics and antiemetics, while sumatriptan should be reserved mainly for severe migraine attacks. Pharmacotherapy, psychological and physical therapy are all components of a systemic approach to the treatment of migraine. To discontinue overused medication is the first step in the prevention of migraine. A number of available drugs are able to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Several considerations should be evaluated before symptomatic and prophylactic therapies are introduced. Our strategies are based on experience collected during the treatment of 82 patients.
