PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Migraine is a common neurologic disorder affecting approximately 15% of individuals in the US and a major cause of morbidity. Although treatment has advanced, the absence of specific diagnostic tests and subjective nature of symptoms contribute to frequent underdiagnosis and undertreatment, leaving patients vulnerable to highly debilitating acute attacks that often require emergency care. Emergency clinicians are therefore uniquely positioned not only to provide symptom relief, but also to identify undiagnosed cases and guide patients in prevention and long-term management. Yet many patients, particularly women and those from underserved groups, continue to receive suboptimal care in emergency settings.

Please join us for an expert-led program that explores evolving insights into migraine pathophysiology, reviews new acute treatments, and highlights practical strategies to improve diagnosis and care in the emergency setting.
