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.

Migraine and tension-type headaches (TTH) are differentiated in ICHD-3 by many headache characteristics, including associated symptoms. A diagnosis of probable migraine indicates some but not all features of migraine are met.

Two independent reviewers completed study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction. A traditional meta-analysis compared parenteral corticosteroids to placebo; a frequentist network analysis assessed direct and indirect comparisons.

Most studies had a high or unclear risk of bias. Corticosteroids significantly reduced relapses compared to placebo (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.52-0.88; I<sup>2</sup> = 0%). Patients receiving lidocaine (RR 0.10, 95% CI 0.01-0.82), sedatives/hypnotics (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.14-0.75), ergot agents (RR 0.44, 95% CI 0.25-0.75), neuroleptics (RR 0.47, 95% CI 0.31-0.71), opioids (RR 0.58; 95% CI 0.35-0.94), or corticosteroids (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.47-0.86) were significantly less likely to relapse. Lidocaine (RR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.71), combination therapy (RR 0.12, 95% CI 0.02-0.74), or adding corticosteroids (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.44-0.84) were more likely to reduce severe relapses.

Some parenteral agents typically provided for pain relief including ergot agents, neuroleptics, or combination therapy may effectively reduce relapse; however, opioids are not recommended due to safety concerns. Additional research is needed for some lesser studied, albeit promising, agents including lidocaine and propofol. Effective pain control in emergency settings prior to discharge and duration of headache may play a role in the success of such treatments and further investigations could provide further insight regarding how and why some parenteral agents are effective in mitigating relapse events.</p>","PeriodicalId":12844,"journal":{"name":"Headache","volume":" ","pages":"1181-1199"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142371630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
