How Inadequate Treatment Leads to Chronic Migraine- Headache and Migraine Policy Forum
SOME PEOPLE START WITH EPISODIC MIGRAINE, having 14 attacks or fewer each month.
THEY SEEK HELP BUT:
- Can’t get in to see a headache specialist
- Struggle to find the right treatment, including opioid use
- Are misdiagnosed with anxiety, sinus infections or other common conditions
- May frequent the ER for pain relief
Without proper treatment, patients may see their episodic attacks become chronic.
Now facing CHRONIC MIGRAINE, patients:
- Experience 15 or more headache attacks per month
- Face immense pain and debilitating symptoms
- May become disabled
If patients’ migraine treatment doesn’t progress, their disease will.
