More than a Headache: Migraine Management for the Otolaryngologist Part 1 and 2 (AMW)
2021 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
Migraine is a common problem experienced by a large segment of the population. The presence of migraine can mimic or accompany the presentation of common otolaryngologic complaints such as sinus pain, headache, otalgia, vertigo, aural fullness, and fluctuating hearing loss. Migraine may also complicate post-operative pain management. Many patients experience migraine in ways that exacerbate symptoms from their otolaryngologic problems or suffer migraine symptoms triggered by their otolaryngologic problems and will benefit from migraine therapy. Unfortunately, only patients with severe or debilitating classic migraine tend to receive significant attention from their primary physicians or from neurologists who treat the majority of migraineurs in this country. This course seeks to fill a gap in otolaryngology training by acquainting the practicing Otolaryngologist with an update on the pathophysiology of migraine that explains Otolaryngic symptoms and will present sound treatment strategies for patients who have typical migraine headache or atypical but common Otolaryngic manifestations of migraine.
