Pharm management of HA Flashcards
Tension HA
Abortive treatment
NSAIDs +/- acetaminophen
Add caffeine if unresponsive
can add muscle relaxants
Tension HA
Prophylaxis
Amitryptiline (TCA)
SNRIs
SSRIs
Anticonvulsants
Migraine
Abortive treamtent
1) triptan
2) ergots = ergotamine or DHE
3) NSAIDs
4) Tramadol
5) isometheptene
Migraine
Prophylaxis
1) Antihypertensives (beta blocker or CCB)
2) anticonvulsants (topiramate and valproate)
3) antidepressants (amitryptiline)
4) NSAIDs
5) 5-HT2 receptor antagonists (methysergide)
Cluster HA
abortive treatment
1) ergots (DHE and ergotamine)
2) glucocorticoids (interrupt chain)
3) lidocaine
4) oxygen
5) triptans (sumatriptan)
Cluster HA
Prophylaxis
1) lithium
2) methysergide
3) verapamil (CCB)
Current model of migraine HA
1) neuropetpide trigger cascade of neuroinflamm
2) Phase 1 = 5HT release from neurons and platelets periph on to vessels causes vasoconstriction and ischemia
3) Phase 2 = cerebral vasodilation and pain regul by trigeminal neurovasc system
how do agonists of serotonin reduce pain in migraine
via release of pain inducing neuropeptides (CGRP)
