Abstract

Migraine headaches are recurrent headache disorders that can result in debilitating neurological symptoms and are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound, and sometimes aura. The goal of this overview is to provide a summary of updated pharmacotherapy recommendations to help nurse practitioners manage both acute and chronic migraine headaches in the primary care setting.
