How to pick optimal acute treatment for migraine headache.
Drug selection for the acute treatment of migraine is based on comorbid disorders, coexistent diseases, and the patient's pain profile and specific needs and expectations. Patients should be instructed to tailor their treatment strategy to meet their specific needs by varying their medications according to pain intensity. This will aid in successful headache management, by increasing compliance and decreasing disability and cost.
