Therefore, it is important that primary care providers are knowledgeable about headache management. Recognizing the need, the American Headache Society First Contact designed the comprehensive First Contact-Headache in Primary Care program with input from an advisory board comprised of a diverse group of physicians and advanced practice providers with backgrounds in family and internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and neurology. This is the first study to assess the reach of the program and critically examine how to best meet the needs of clinicians and patients going forward.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We report descriptive statistics for the First Contact website metrics from October 2020 to June 2023 and grand rounds program data from May 2020 to December 2023. We also conducted a cross-sectional analysis of survey data from presentations conducted at two large national family medicine symposia, as well as a thematic analysis of the question: \"Please indicate what areas of your practice could be enhanced or improved with additional education?\"</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The First Contact program homepage was the second most visited page on the American Headache Society website (>100,000 views). A total of 20 podcast episodes were created for the program (>3500 plays). The First Contact program held 99 events (72 institutional grand rounds, 22 State-level meetings, and five national meetings), reaching >7000 clinicians. The institutional grand rounds and state-level meetings were held across 27 States and Washington D.C. Only 31.9% (30/94) of First Contact program events (excluding national meetings) occurred in the West census region, which has the fewest headache subspecialists and lowest headache subspecialist density in the United States. When examining survey data of participants who attended the two virtual national family medicine symposia (39.3% response rate, N = 636/1620), 85.7% (544/635) reported being \"completely confident\" or \"very confident\" in their ability to recognize and accurately diagnose patients presenting with a primary complaint of headache and 81.5% (517/634) reported being \"completely confident\" or \"very confident\" in their ability to develop evidence-based treatment plans that are tailored to the needs of individual patients. The use of diagnostic tools to recognize patients with migraine (60.4%, 384/636) and translating standards of care to the practice setting (42.5%, 270/636) were the most reported intended changes by participants.

Both observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible for inclusion. Two investigators independently carried out the first (titles and abstracts) and second (full text) screening stages, as well as data extraction and quality appraisal. The American Academy of Neurology risk of bias grading scheme was used to assess study risk of bias.

After a mean of 2-2.6 injection cycles, headache frequency was shown to decrease significantly after treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA (Hedge's g = 0.97, 95% CI 0.58-1.35; p < 0.0001), as did severity (Hedge's g = 1.24, 95% CI 0.55-1.94; p = 0.0005), with both estimates having a large effect size magnitude. A Class I parallel-group RCT of one injection series (155 U, 74 U, or placebo), powered to detect a change in 4 headache days per month, did not find outcome differences between the active and placebo treatment arms.

Anti-epileptics are the first-line treatment for TN; however, these oral drugs alone sometimes fail to achieve satisfactory analgesic effects.

Patients who met the criteria for treatment failure were withdrawn from the double-blind treatment phase, and treatment was continued in the remaining patients for up to 28 days.
