Overview of migraine.
Migraine, one of the most common incapacitating headaches, afflicts 23 million adults in the United States. There is a controversy in the literature on the theoretical perspective of migraine, the efficacy of treatment strategies, measurement, and correlates. Thus, more research is needed on these issues. A wide range of treatments is available for migraine. In addition to terminating migraine headache, appropriate migraine care includes preventing its attacks and improving patients' quality of life by administrating pharmacologic preparations in conjunction with a variety of alternative methods.
