Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The physician confronted with a headache patient in acute distress must establish the diagnosis before initiating therapy. Although the typical treatment in the emergency department has been to rely on narcotic analgesics, many safer alternatives are available. With all these therapeutic options to choose from, fewer patients should run the risk of narcotic addiction because of migraine attacks. To prevent a patient from becoming a frequent emergency department visitor, referral for prophylactic treatment is essential. |
