Resumen

El manejo agudo de la migraña es un proceso desafiante en el servicio de Urgencias. Su tratamiento debe estar basado en la severidad de los síntomas que definen una aproximación farmacológica estratificada. En casos moderados a severos, los agentes de elección son los triptanes, agentes antimigrañosos específicos que proveen rápida mejoría del dolor y disminución de la discapacidad. Dicho tratamiento debe iniciarse en las etapas iniciales del dolor y antes de la instauración del fenómeno de alodinia cutánea para garantizar una respuesta óptima para dicho tratamiento.
