AAN/AHS update recommendations for migraine prevention in adults.
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies suggest that more than one-third of persons with migraine need preventive therapy; however, only 3 to 13 percent use it. The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and American Headache Society (AHS) recently reviewed studies published since 2000 to determine which therapies reduce migraine frequency or severity, or reduce the number of days with migraine. These guidelines do not address onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox), which the AAN described in 2008 as probably ineffective for the treatment of episodic migraine.
