Management of migraine--no longer a headache.
There have been important advances in the management of migraine headache. Revised diagnostic criteria, which were introduced in 1988 1 have led to more reliable assessment of the prevalence of migraine and the way it affects attendance and efficiency at work. In addition, the use of the 5HTI agonists has become established. The correct diagnosis of migraine and other headaches is of greatest importance as unless the right diagnosis is made, the right treatment cannot be given. In this article, we discuss how these changes have altered the management of migraine in adults.
