Abstract
Herein we summarize clinical issues gleaned from a full peer-reviewed article on modifiable risk factors for migraine. Since migraine is progressive in some but not in most individuals, identifying patients at risk for progression is crucial. Key interventions include: (1) Decrease headache frequency with behavioral and pharmacologic interventions; (2) Monitor the body mass index and encourage maintenance of normal weight; (3) Avoid medication overuse; (4) Avoid caffeine overuse; (5) Investigate and treat sleep problems and snoring; (6) Screen and treat depression and other psychiatric comorbidities. These recommendations have not been demonstrated to improve outcomes in longitudinal studies.
