Until recently, however, there was no evidence-based recommendation (grounded in efficacy and safety) on which of those should be considered first-line therapy.The AHS performed a comprehensive review of the literature, looking at randomized controlled trials of 25 medications, and published an assessment of the results in 2016 in the journal Headache.This short Q&A slide show tests what you migh/might not know about ED migraine management and highlighths the AHS findings, too.
