2 Migraine Diagnosis and Treatment Dr. Vitaliy Koss, MD Neurologist Lehigh Valley Health Network

3 Diagnostic Criteria A. At least 5 attacks fulfilling criteria B through D B. Headache attacks lasting 4 to 72 hours (untreated or unsuccessfully treated) C. Headache has at least two of the following characteristics: 1. Unilateral location 2. Pulsating quality 3. Moderate or severe pain intensity 4. Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (ie. walking or climbing stairs) D. During headache at least one of the following: 1. Nausea and/or vomiting 2. Photophobia and/or Phonophobia E. Not attributed to another disorder

4 Pillars of Acute Migraine Treatment NSAIDs (IV Ketorolac, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac) Neuroleptics (Reglan, Compazine, Droperidol, Thorazine, Haldol) Migraine specific (DHE, Triptans)

5 Additional Considerations Steroids (Methylprednisolone, Dexamethasone) Anticonvulsants (Valproic Acid, Levitiracetam) Magnesium Sulfate

6 Opioids In almost all cases of primary headache, Opioids must be avoided! Most primary headache disorders are made worse by Opioid exposure

7 New Treatments??

8 Population-Based Study Acute Migraine Medications and Evolution From Episodic to Chronic Migraine: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study Marcelo E. Bigal, MD, PhD; Daniel Serrano, MA; Dawn Buse, PhD; Ann Scher, PhD; Walter F. Stewart, PhD; Richard B. Lipton, MD

9 Population-Based Study Cont d Compounds containing barbiturates and opiates were associated with a twofold increased risk of TM in 2006 vs. maintaining an episodic migraine status (barbiturates OR = 2.06, 95% CI = ; opiates OR = 1.98, 95% CI = )

10 Admission Avoid PRN medications during admission

11 Abortive and Preventative Treatments

12 Abortive Medications Triptans Almotriptan (Axert) Eletriptan (Relpax) Frovatriptan (Frova) Naratriptan (Amerge) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Sumatriptan/Naproxen (Treximet)

13 Preventative Treatments Antihypertensives Antidepressants Antiepileptics

14 Evidence-based guideline update: Treatment for episodic migraine prevention

15 Level A: Established Efficacy Antiepileptic drugs: Divalproex sodium, Topiramate Beta-blockers: Metoprolol, Propranolol, Timolol Triptans (MRM): Frovatriptan

16 Level B: Probably Effective Antidepressants: Amitriptyline, Venlafaxine Beta- blockers: Atenolol, Nadolol Triptans (MRM): Naratriptan, Zolmitriptan

17 Level C: Possibly Effective ACE inhibitors: Lisinopril Angiotensin receptor blockers: Candesartan Alpha- Agonists: Clonidine, Guanfacine Antiepileptic drugs: Carbamazepine Beta-blockers: Nebivolol, Pindolol Antihistamines: Cyproheptadine

18 Level U: Inadequate or Conflicting Data Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor: Acetazolamide Antithrombotics: Acenocoumarol, Coumadin, Picotamide Antidepressants: Fluvoxamine, Fluoxetine, Protriptyline Antiepileptic: Gabapentin Beta-blockers: Bisoprolol Ca blockers: Nicardipine, Nifedipine, Nimodipine, Verapamil Direct vascular smooth muscle relaxants: Cyclandelate

19 Other Medications Possibly or Probably Ineffective Lamotrigine (Level A negative) Clomipramine (level B negative) Acebutolol (level C negative) Clonazepam (level C negative) Nabumetone (level C negative) Oxcarbazepine (Level C negative) Telmisartan (level C negative)

20 Evidence- based guideline update: NSAIDs and other complimentary treatments for episodic migraine prevention

21 Level A: Established Efficacy Herbal: Butterbur

22 Level B: Probably Effective NSAIDs: Fenoprofen, Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, Naproxen Herbal/ minerals: Magnesium, feverfew, Riboflavin Histamines: Histamine SC

23 Level C: Possibly Effective NSAIDs: Flurbiprofen, Mefenamic Acid Herbal/ minerals: CoQ10, Estrogen Antihistamines: Cyproheptadine

24 Level U: Inadequate or Conflicting Data NSAIDs: Aspirin, Indomethacin Herbal/ minerals: Omega-3 Other: Hyperbaric Oxygen

25 Other: Established Possibly or Probably Ineffective Leukotriene receptor antagonist: Montelukast (level B negative)
