Migraine Headache: Diagnosis and Current and Emerging Preventive Treatments. Prim Care Companion CNS Disord. 2018 Dec 27;20 suppl E1: Authors: Lipton RB, Silberstein S Abstract Migraine is associated with considerable pain and disability. Accurate diagnosis that differentiates migraine from other primary and secondary headache disorders is needed, and clinicians should assess the patient's risk of progressing to chronic migraine. Many patients will benefit from preventive treatment. Clinicians must know how to identify these patients and be familiar with the numerous preventive treatments. Finally, clinicians must select the safest, most effective treatment while keeping in mind individual characteristics such as coexisting conditions and patient preferences.
