TY - JOUR T1 - Migraine prophylaxis: Who, why, and how JF - Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO - Cleve Clin J Med SP - 793 LP - 816 VL - 73 IS - 9 AU - Jadwiga Loj AU - Glen D. Solomon Y1 - 2006/09/01 UR - http://www.ccjm.org/content/73/9/793.abstract N2 - If a patient has frequent, severely debilitating migraine headaches, prophylactic treatment may help. Beta-blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, and anticonvulsants have the best evidence of efficacy; calcium channel blockers and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are also popular because they are well tolerated and inexpensive. We review migraine treatment with emphasis on prophylaxis. ER -
