Abstract
Pharmacologic agents useful in the treatment of acute migraine headaches include nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ergotamines, and analgesics. Parenteral ergotamines, antiemetics, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and sumatriptan can be successfully administered in the office or emergency room setting. In this article, evidence regarding the efficacy of these agents is reviewed.
