Migraines first appear before puberty and remit at menopause; they may be accompanied or preceded by nausea, vomiting, phonophobia, and photophobia or other visual phenomena (e.g., hemianopia, scotomas, fortification phenomenon).
Management
Analgesics (e.g., aspirin, acetaminophen, propoxyphen, codeine), NSAIDs (e.g., naproxen, ibuprofen, ketorolac), 5-HT agonists (e.g., ergotamine, sumatryptan), dopamine antagonist (e.g., chlorpromazine, metoclopramide).
Prevention
Avoid precipitating factors; if conservative measures fail and the attacks are > 1/week, pharmacologic prophylaxis is indicated, which may be 5-HT influencing (e.g., amitriptyline, methysergide1), β-adrenergic antagonist (e.g., propranolol, metoprolol), calcium channel blocker (e.g., nifedipine, verapamil) or NSAIDs (e.g., ketoprofen, mefenamic acid, aspirin).mi·graine (mī'grān) A symptom complex occurring periodically and characterized by pain in the head (usually unilateral), vertigo, nausea and vomiting, and photophobia.
