Mini Quiz: Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome

Alit Stark-Inbar, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Theranica, writes about migraine prevention beyond lifestyle changes, highlighting the role of neuromodulation and other evidence-based treatments in long-term management.

A review of 12 studies showed that maternal migraine was linked to a higher likelihood of infant colic, and that infant colic was in turn linked to a higher risk of migraine later in childhood.

The phase 3 LUNA study showed that atogepant, an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, significantly reduced perimenstrual migraine days among patients with menstrual migraine compared with placebo.

The AAN and AHS have replaced their 2012 migraine prevention guideline with new, evidence-graded recommendations, giving neurologists clearer direction on when to start preventive therapy, how to choose among older and newer options, and how to adjust treatment for specific patients.
