    Is it ever "too late" to treat my migraine?
    (2009-09-16) Magid, Rhamy
    Migraines are very painful headaches with certain identifying features, such as unilaterality, throbbing, nausea and/or vomiting, and sensitivity to light and/or sound. Patients are generally advised to treat their migraine attacks early or they risk not achieving adequate pain relief. This pamphlet is designed to suggest that patients do have effective treatment options, even if they miss the opportunity to treat an attack early in its course.

    Migraine Headaches in Children and Adolescents
    (2009-05-04) Ness, Molly
    Migraine affects four to ten percent of school-aged children, and nearly twice as many adolescents. The symptoms of migraine are distinctive, and it is important for parents to be familiar with these symptoms. Children and adolescents with migraine may be treated successfully with over-the-counter pain medications. However, there is strong evidence that sumatriptan nasal spray is another safe and effective migraine medication for children over age 8.

    A pilot project to assess community pharmacists’ knowledge and caring behaviors for recurrent headache sufferers after a migraine-focused educational intervention
    (University of Minnesota, College of Pharmacy, 2014) Murray, Kelly A.; Skomo, Monica L.; Carter, Sandra M.
    Objectives: (1) Compare pharmacists’ self-assessed knowledge of migraine before and after an educational intervention; (2) Compare pharmacists’ self-reported care behaviors following an educational intervention with a control group of pharmacists; (3) Identify interactions between the educational intervention results and individual independent variables. Design: Quasi-experimental, parallel design. Setting: Twenty community pharmacies in northeastern Oklahoma from March to May 2010. Participants: 49 pharmacists at one of twenty community pharmacies, with active and in-good-standing Oklahoma pharmacy licenses. Intervention: Two-hour educational session on migraine identification and current treatment. Main outcome measures: Compare pharmacists’ self-assessed knowledge of migraine before and after an educational intervention and compare self-reported care behaviors of these same pharmacists with a control group of pharmacists. Results: Pharmacists’ self-assessed knowledge mean scores were significantly higher post-intervention compared to pre-intervention (p<0.0001). Self-assessed knowledge was higher in the intervention group post-questionnaire scores compared to the control group of pharmacists (p=0.004). Intervention group pharmacists were more confident in their ability to maintain knowledge of migraine (p=0.04). No difference was seen regarding difficulty in providing care for a migraineur (p=0.16) or in how the pharmacists perceived employer culture (p=0.79). No significant interactions were found between the educational intervention and demographic variables collected. Conclusion: Attending an educational program on migraine improved pharmacists’ knowledge and confidence when providing care to migraineurs.
