Abstract

The article discusses the concept of combination treatment in managing migraine, which involves using two or more acute or preventive treatments simultaneously. It emphasizes the importance of clear terminology to enhance communication and implementation of treatment strategies, especially in regions with diverse practices. The text highlights the need for a standardized lexicon among clinicians and researchers to improve patient care and reduce ambiguity in the field. The authors suggest a stepwise approach to combining treatments, starting with identifying a baseline treatment and layering subsequent treatments based on individual patient characteristics and disease burden.
