Migraine is among the most common disorders seen in office practice. Some epidemiologists believe it may occur in up to 25 percent of the general population. Pharmacologic treatment and behavior therapy, as well as a stable physician-patient relationship, are important factors in reducing the frequency and severity of recurrent head pain. Benefits of migraine therapy include improvements in the patient's overall health and sense of well-being.
