Second-line interventions for migraine in the emergency department: A narrative review

CONCLUSIONS: There are no evidence-based second-line treatments of migraine in the ED setting. For patients with migraine, who fail to improve after treatment with a first-line medication, it is reasonable to use an intravenous NSAID or intravenous acetaminophen. Alternatively, clinicians adept at performing a GONB may offer this treatment.PMID:34806767 | DOI:10.1111/head.14239
