Migraine is a common episodic headache disorder. A comprehensive management of headache includes the treatment of the acute attack to relieve the pain and prophylactic therapy to reduce the frequency, severity and duration of attacks. In the present article, the clinical picture, pathophysiology and prophylactic treatment are reviewed. Prophylactic agents include beta-blockers, calcium channel antagonists, antiepileptic drugs, serotonin antagonists, anti-depressants and others.

Keywords: migraine, pathophysiology, prophylactic treatment
