Migraine is a chronic condition that presents with episodic disabling attacks, which can respond unpredictably to therapies. Studies support early treatment intervention strategies as part of the routine clinical care of migraine patients. Identifying illness severity and stratifying treatment accordingly (as in other diseases such as asthma, diabetes, or hypertension) improves patient outcome. Assessing the presence of any coexisting conditions, such as depression or anxiety, is another essential part of managing migraine.
