Katic BJ et al. – In this article the authors review this topic, by critically reviewing studies conducted using pharmacy claims, clinical records, survey, and patient–reported data to explore acute medication use for migraine headache. While efficacy, cost, drug tolerability, and side effects impact whether a patient takes migraine medication, low perceived disease importance and factors related to the patient's internal decision–making process play a strong role in the sustained use of acute medication for migraine attack. The authors propose a model that combines the patient's perceived severity of migraine, their beliefs regarding the safety of acute medications, and factors related to the physician–patient relationship to identify migraineurs at high risk for medication adherence problems.
