Extractions: Return to table of contents H OW D O P HYSICIAN M IGRAINEURS T REAT M IGRAINE At the Headache World 2000 conference, Randolph W. Evans, MD, of the University of Texas at Houston Medical School and Baylor College of Medicine, and Richard B. Lipton, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City, outlined the results of their survey of 42 headache specialists who attended an April 2000 meeting, in New Orleans, for the faculty of the Neurology Ambassador Program. SELF-SELECTED SPECIALITIES? Of the 33 participants who responded, 24 were male. The mean age was 51 for men, 43 for women. The mean number of years in practice was 20 for men, 10 for women. Within the previous year, 50% of the men and 67% of the women had attacks that fit the International Headache Society definition of migraine. "I was astonished that the prevalence of migraine was so high," commented Dr. Lipton. Two subsequent studies confirmed this high prevalence among neurologists specializing in headache. "To some extent, it may be that people self-select" in choosing their medical specialty, Dr. Lipton acknowledged. However, when neurologists were asked about their migraines, their responses indicated that half had migraine before deciding to specialize, and the remaining half developed migraine after choosing their specialty. Final results of the two expanded studies of approximately 1,000 attendees of the Neurology Ambassador Program and a sample of American Academy of Neurology members are currently being analyzed.
Extractions: MENIERES AND MIGRAINES Neurotology of Migraine Robert W. Baloh, MD Migraine is a disease characterized by periodic headaches, but patients often experience other symptoms including dizziness and hearing loss and, in some, these can be the only symptoms. Since most patients equate migraine with headache, it can be difficult to convince them that symptoms other than headache are due to migraine. Comments such as "But, doctor, I don't have a 'migraine' with my dizziness" or "I came to see you because of my dizziness. I haven't had a migraine for at least a year" are common in our Neurotology Clinic. Until we understand the pathophysiology of migraine, it will remain difficult to educate patients and their physicians on the relationship between migraine and neurotologic symptoms. Furthermore, there is debate as to whether migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) are distinct syndromes, different manifestations of the same disorder, or part of a continuum. Patients can have both types of attacks (with and without aura), and not infrequently, both types of migraine run in the same family (see below). The headache phases of both types of migraine are almost identical, and the same treatments are usually effective for both types of migraine. Conversely, certain epidemiological characteristics, overall familial aggregation, and varying pathophysiologic findings suggest that these two types of migraine may be separate entities.

Extractions: Search September 8, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Headache Conditions that cause severe headaches in children include both primary and secondary disorders. Primary headaches are conditions in which the headache is the medical condition and no underlying internal cause is present. Treatment is aimed at the specific headache disorder. Primary types include migraine headaches, tension headaches, chronic daily headaches, and cluster headaches. Doctors must find out which type of headache a child has, because the best treatments are different for each category. Headaches that come back again and again are usually the result of primary disorders. Secondary headaches are a result of some underlying process. When that process is treated, the associated headache usually gets better or goes away. Secondary headaches can be caused by many conditions, from harmless to life threatening. The following are examples of such conditions: Infections (inside the head or elsewhere)

Extractions: Answer 4 simple questions and find out. Effective, fast-acting, long-lasting treatment that will help you stop your migraine so you can be where you want to be. AXERT Tablets are indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. AXERT is not intended for the prophylactic therapy of migraine or for use in the management of hemiplegic or basilar migraine. Safety and effectiveness of AXERT have not been established for cluster headache, which is present in an older, predominantly male population. Important Safety Information AXERT tablets should be used only when a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established. AXERT is not right for everyone. You should not take AXERT if you have known heart disease or risk factors for heart disease or stroke (family history, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, past menopause or smoking). Medicines in this class have been associated with very rare reports of serious heart-related problems. Because AXERT may increase blood pressure it should not be taken if you have uncontrolled hypertension. If youre not sure whether you have heart disease or risk factors, ask your doctor. Before taking AXERT, be sure to tell your doctor about any medicines you are taking or plan to take. As with other medicines in this class, AXERT should not be taken within 24 hours of another triptan or ergotamine. Do not take AXERT if you have had an allergic reaction to any of its ingredients.

Toward Evidence-Based Management of Migraine PHILADELPHIA-If you're like many physicians, you probably tell patients suffering from migraine headaches to try ibuprofin before you prescribe something stronger. While it's true that NSAIDs are the first line of defense in treating migraines, experts say that you should consider using other drugs, particularly when one class of agents isn't working. Even more importantly, you need to tell patients that NSAIDs are only the first part of your strategy to treat their migraines. To give patients relief from the pain, nausea and light sensitivity of migraines, physicians can offer a multi-tiered regimen of drugs.
