Abstract
As a common headache disorder, migraine is also a common cause for emergency department (ED) visiting, which leads to tremendous medical and economic burden. The goals of migraine management in ED are resolving headache and migraine-related most bothersome symptoms rapidly, preventing ED revisiting due to headache relapse, and referring patients at risk, e.g., patients with chronic migraine and/or medication-overuse headache, to specialists. In this chapter, we elucidated the algorithm which was particularly adapted to ED settings for the diagnosis and treatment of migraine. We reviewed a plentiful amount of high-quality clinical trials, especially those conducted in populations derived from ED, to provide readers insights into the optimized treatment options for migraine in ED.
期刊介绍:
The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
