MigrainePublished by: Domus Medica | SSMGLast published: 2012Prise en charge de la migrainePublished by: Domus Medica | SSMGLast published: 2012Most patients with episodic migraine do well with treatment. In population-based surveys the frequency of migraine headaches decreases with age.[39][82] Chronic migraine is more likely to persist into older age.[83]
The prognosis is guarded for patients who have developed complications of migraine or who have comorbidities or a long-standing history of medication overuse. In these cases, expectations for improvement should be modest, and the goals of treatment should shift from elimination of pain to improvement in function and reduction in migraine-related disability.[34][219]
