The IHS recommends oral triptans as first-line therapy for acute migraine treatment, while the ACP suggests combining triptans with NSAIDs or acetaminophen.
Gepants are effective for patients who cannot tolerate triptans or are at risk for medication overuse headache, as they do not cause this complication.
Preventive therapy choice for migraines should consider patient-specific factors, as comparative evidence among treatments is limited and often of low quality.
CGRP-targeting therapies offer faster response times for migraine prevention but come with significantly higher costs compared to traditional oral medications.
Management strategies should be patient-centered, addressing modifiable risk factors and informed by individual clinical variables and treatment history.
