Recent advances in migraine therapy

Abstract: Migraine is a common and highly disabling neurological disorder associated with a high socioeconomic burden. Effective migraine management depends on adequate patient education: to avoid unrealistic expectations, the condition must be carefully explained to the patient soon as it is diagnosed. The range of available acute treatments has increased over time. At present, abortive migraine therapy can be classed as specific (ergot derivatives and triptans) or non-specific (analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflam… Show more

“…Although a large number of treatments have been developed for migraine over the past decades, several disputes have been encountered by clinicians such as misclassification of migraine, inappropriate selection of treatment and medication overuse. Among them, medication overuse has become a major issue in chronic migraine patients who may eventually develop a disabling condition called medication-overuse headache [5]. Therefore, awareness and understanding of migraine should be improved and corresponding treatments or medications should be further explored to overcome these issues.…”

“…Compared to preventive therapies, acute therapies are able to provide patients with rapid and complete relief with minimal or no adverse events and hence they are recommended for promptly alleviating the symptoms of patients [6]. The selection of acute treatments has been differentiated into two pathways: non-specific medications which include analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); and specific medications which include ergot derivatives and triptans [5]. As suggested by the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS), both oral NSAIDs and triptans are recommended for treating migraine attacks [7].…”

“…Current acute migraine therapies include nonspecific analgesics such as NSAIDs and specific drugs such as the ergots and triptans aimed at aborting migraine attacks [47]. Among these, triptans have the best evidence for effectiveness as acute migraine therapy and are frequently prescribed [37,48].…”

“…use of nonspecific drugs and specific drugs (ergot alkaloids and triptans), depends Asian J Pharm Clin Res, Vol 11, Special issue 2, 2018, 8-11 on the efficacy of migraine attack. The second approach is preventative therapy, in which doctor gives the suggestion about daily life routine to the patients [15]. There are majorly conventional tablets available in the market, which is used for management of an acute migraine.…”
