Overview
"Hello, Jordan. Migraine management, especially in patients who are medication-resistant, can be challenging but there are several alternative strategies that have shown effectiveness."
Concise Explanation
"Based on your experience in family medicine, here are some treatment options for consideration:
- Medication Adjustments: Switching to CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide) inhibitors, such as erenumab, has shown promising results for patients who don’t respond to standard treatments.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Encourage regular sleep, hydration, and dietary adjustments, as these have been shown to reduce frequency in some cases.
- Alternative Therapies: Consider recommending biofeedback and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as adjuncts, which can help reduce migraine severity and frequency."
Summary
"In summary, CGRP inhibitors, lifestyle management, and adjunct therapies like biofeedback could enhance your current approach to treatment-resistant migraines. Let me know if you'd like additional details on any specific option."
