Abstract:
Headache is the most common condition encountered in neurological practice. However, despite the burden to patients, migraine, a typical primary headache, is not life-threatening, and evaluation shows no abnormalities; therefore, it is often treated using analgesics. Moreover, patients often do not visit hospitals and clinics because over-the-counter analgesics, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are easily available. However, many patients continue to experience headaches. Migraine therapy has progressed remarkably following the advent of calcitonin gene-related peptide antibody drugs in recent years. Many patients with migraine do not visit hospitals and clinics and do not receive appropriate treatment. Therefore, in the future, neurologists will need to play a key role in patient education and in training physicians to enable accurate diagnosis of headaches.
摘要:
头痛是神经系统实践中最常见的疾病。然而,尽管给患者带来了负担,偏头痛,典型的原发性头痛,没有生命危险,评估显示没有异常;因此,通常使用镇痛药治疗。此外,患者通常不去医院和诊所,因为非处方镇痛药,如非甾体抗炎药很容易获得。然而,许多病人继续头痛。近年来,随着降钙素基因相关肽抗体药物的出现,偏头痛的治疗取得了显着进展。许多偏头痛患者没有去医院和诊所,也没有得到适当的治疗。因此,在未来,神经科医师将需要在患者教育和培训医生方面发挥关键作用,以便准确诊断头痛。
