Overcoming obstacles to effective treatment of patients with migraine (Statement of the expert group on optimizing treatment of patients with migraine)
Despite the development of basic principles and a wide arsenal of therapeutic and preventive agents, the effective treatment of migraine patients in daily practice is associated with some well-identified obstacles. Among many obstacles to effective treatment, several key factors can be identified: low patients' awareness of the nature of the disease, its course and prognosis, methods of treatment and prevention, low rate of patients' referral for medical care and unsatisfactory level of diagnosis in clinical practice, inadequate training of physicians in the field of headache, nonoptimal use of symptom management and preventive treatment strategies. The article discusses the most common problems and strategies to optimize treatment of migraine patients.
