The Migraine Team

The most productive approach to migraine management involves collaborative care. At its most fundamental form this collaboration recognizes the presence of two headache experts: the patient and the provider. The headache expert provider’s role is to insure that the headache expert patient is provided with sufficient guidance and feedback in order to facilitate successful management. Often other team members are involved (nurse, psychologist, dietician, and physical therapist). Family members can become important team members with proper education.
