ForwardA Journey Through Migraine: Using Modern Evidence, Expert Insight, and Practice Simulation to Navigate Daily Challenges
Due to the unique educational design of this course, the content must be viewed and completed on the myCME platform.
Program Description
1 in 6 adults in the US suffers from migraines, yet despite its widespread prevalence and burden, migraines continue to be underdiagnosed and undertreated. Additionally, even with the well-documented drawbacks of many traditional acute and preventive migraine therapies, these agents are often prioritized, and novel agents sub optimally integrated into management.
To assist clinicians in the application of contemporary diagnostic and treatment approaches for their migraine patients, this activity features a roundtable discussion featuring two headache specialists – Drs. Jessica Ailani and Ryan Smith – and primary care provider, Dr. Charles Vega.
Note that the core activity is supplemented by an interactive patient simulation. This clinical tool was developed to assist clinicians in considering how best to implement migraine treatment into their own day-to-day practice.
Target Audience
The target audience for this activity includes primary healthcare physicians, headache specialists, general neurologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and long-term management of patients with migraines.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Review published data and patient perspectives on persistent diagnostic barriers in migraine as well as practical assessment tools that may help mitigate their occurrence to characterize migraine more rapidly and effectively
- Evaluate the differential benefits of phase 3 data with, and patient selection for recently approved therapies for the acute management of migraine to better customize treatment to individual patients
- Discuss the changing paradigm of migraine preventive therapy, including increasingly blurred lines with acute therapy, in light of recently approved agents (CGRP mAbs, gepants for prevention) to determine how that may influence patient selection and long-term strategy
- Develop customized and comprehensive acute and preventive treatment regimens based on a patient’s migraine classification, needs, and preferences
