Overview
Migraine is a debilitating neurologic condition affecting over 36,000,000 people worldwide. It is important for providers to be knowledgeable of the different pharmacologic options available for migraine prevention as well as acute treatments of attacks. This talk will give an overview of preventive therapies including older agents such as antiepileptics, tricyclic antidepressants and beta blockers as well as newer CGRP-antagonists and botox. I will also discuss medications for acute treatment such as triptans, gepants, ditans, ergotamine derivatives, and more.
Learning Objectives
100% of participants will self report increased knowledge regarding the latest in drug therapy, diagnosis, and treatment of some of the most common clinical conditions encountered in the family practice setting.
