Competence

Patient case activities

Once an accurate diagnosis has been achieved, the most appropriate and tailored treatment plan needs to be developed.

In the competence phase, a series of four case studies will help you understand the most appropriate acute treatment based on both the severity of the patient’s migraine and any contraindications or complications they may have. They will also look at the emerging therapies that could further optimize the acute treatment of migraine.

Learn more about patients with migraine and co-morbidities and how to adapt their treatment plan accordingly, addressing the complication of medication overuse.

eLearning activity

To ensure optimal management of migraine, patients need to be regularly monitored and their treatment reviewed.

In this eLearning module you will be shown how to measure treatment success, utilizing patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools, to ensure a patient’s treatment is amended when required and patient satisfaction is improved.

Uwe Reuter discusses how to assess the efficacy of migraine treatment and when to change treatment plans.
