An 11 minute video review of our current understanding of migraine and an update on newer therapies. James W. Mold, MD, MPH

Abstract

In this instructional video, Drs. Cynthia Armand and Elizabeth Loder discuss the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of migraine and treatment options for patients.

This video provides essential and useful information for any clinician caring for patients with this common condition. Newer acute and preventive therapies — including triptans, gepants, ditans, and injectable monoclonal antibodies — are discussed, as are the importance of a patient-centered approach and the need to tackle challenges of access to these newer agents.
