MigraineThe Definitive guide to understanding and treating severe headaches.

Second Edition - Britt Talley Daniel, MD - Audiobook

A Comprehensive Book for Migraine Sufferers-with a Level of Detail to Satisfy Medical Professionals

People who suffer from migraine often want to understand more about this complicated disorder: Why does it happen? Why are there so many different types? How has migraine been understood throughout history? And what treatments are available?

Migraine, Second Edition, by Britt Talley Daniel, MD, provides an extensive review of the medical literature on important migraine and headache subjects. It is written for migraine sufferers who want a deeper understanding of their condition, while offering a level of detail that will also interest medical students, neurology residents, and medical professionals.

Topics Covered

The book explores a wide range of migraine and headache disorders, including:

• Migraine without aura
• Migraine with aura
• Cluster headache
• Medication-overuse or rebound headache
• Migrainous infarction
• Menstrual migraine
• Footballer's migraine
• Primary headache associated with sexual activity
• Confusional migraine

The book also includes a history of migraine, with discussions of famous migraine sufferers such as Freud, Darwin, and Nietzsche.

Clinical Teaching Through Patient-Doctor Dialogues

Several of the clinical chapters include teaching-type dialogues between a patient and a doctor.

These conversations provide an instructive way to explore the clinical aspects of migraine and can be particularly valuable for patients, medical students, and neurology residents.

Migraine Treatment

The second edition discusses a range of current and emerging approaches to migraine treatment, including:

• Acute therapy with the triptans
• CGRP drugs for acute and preventive therapy
• A newer DHE delivery system
• Non-drug treatments such as vagal nerve stimulation
• Trigeminal nerve stimulation

For Migraine Sufferers and Medical Professionals

Migraine is intended to bridge the gap between a basic patient guide and a highly technical medical reference.

It provides migraine sufferers with an opportunity to learn about their disorder in considerable depth, while the extensive medical information makes the book useful to readers with professional or academic interests in neurology and headache disorders.

As Donald L. Levene, M.D., F.R.C.P.C., F.A.C.C., writes:

"This book is an astonishing work. It reflects the enormous extent of research on this important disease. We millions of migraineurs and the doctors who manage treatment are now better informed and better off!"
