Local therapies in migraine

Neurol Sci. 2009 May:30 Suppl 1:S67-70. doi: 10.1007/s10072-009-0072-4.

Abstract

Fixed-site" approach and "follow-the-pain" approach briefly considered the techniques of local therapy that now generate more interest and discussion on headaches and, in particular, of migraine. Far from being a full discussion, the work aims only to stimulate further thought and interest in local therapies which often are not sufficiently considered and that conversely are a possibility in the treatment of migraine.
