The authors of the 2015 study, which was funded by the AHS, emphasize that this reassessment focuses on the treatment of acute attacks, not long-term outcomes, while stressing the priority of individualizing treatment.
“Clinicians still need to individualize treatment and consider the clinical context of the migraine attack,” observed Dr. Marmura. “An outpatient with well-controlled episodic migraine may respond differently than someone with chronic migraine or a patient in the emergency room. This assessment does not provide guidance for long-term migraine management, including issues such as adverse events and medication-overuse headache.”
