Evidence-based Approach to Headache Management in Primary Care
Activity description
This educational webcast is designed to enhance primary care providers’ competency in managing headaches with a focus on evidence-based approaches. Participants will engage in a comprehensive review of migraine pathophysiology to better recognize and differentiate migraine symptoms. The session will examine traditional therapies for migraine, both acute and preventive, and introduce cutting-edge anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) targeted therapies. It will compare the efficacy and application of these treatments, enabling informed decision-making in clinical practice. The program will also explore the application of anti-CGRP therapies beyond migraines, considering their role in treating a variety of headache and facial-pain conditions.
