1 Identifying, Diagnosing, and Managing Patients with Chronic Migraine in Primary Care Everett Schlam, MD Assistant Director Mountainside Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program Verona, NJ

2 Best Practices Pearls Communication is the only diagnostic tool available for migraine and successful communication requires participation of the healthcare provider and patient Open-ended questions that allow the patients to “tell their story” provides better alignment and understanding Warning signs and comfort features can help separate primary and secondary headache disorders Chronic migraine is a diagnosis defined by 15 or more days per month of headache for at least 3 months in an individual with migraine

3 Making a Diagnosis Primary vs. secondary headache Warning signs Comfort signs Migraine vs. non-migraine Symptoms Duration of attacks Changes over time Disability Lipton RB, et al. Managing migraine: A healthcare professional’s guide to collaborative migraine care. Hamilton, Ontario: Baxter Publishing Inc; 2008.

4 Evaluating the Patient with the Complaint of Headache Warning signs Age - 50 yrs New onset or recent change Neurological symptoms or signs Underlying diseases Systemic symptoms Fever, hypertension, weight loss Comfort features Established pattern of HA 6 months Menstrual association Variable locations of HA Complete resolution between attacks Positive family history HA, headache

Systemic symptoms (fever, weight loss); or S econdary risk factors – underlying disease (HIV, systemic cancer) N eurologic symptoms or abnormal signs (confusion, impaired alertness, or consciousness) O nset: Sudden, abrupt, or split-second (first, worst) O lder: New onset and progressive headache, especially in middle age >50 (giant cell arteritis) P attern change: First headache or different, change in type of headache Postural aggravation Papilledema Dodick D.

12 Migraine in Primary Care A harbinger of a patient population at high risk of decades medical need Chronic migraine (>15 HA days/mo) has annual prevalence of 3% (1.1%-5.1%) but a lifetime prevalence is much higher 14% transform to chronic annually 26% resolve; 40% transition; 34% persist Most remain with very frequent episodic or chronic migraine Katsarava Z, et al.

21 Understanding the Journey from Episodic to Chronic Migraine

22 Relationship of Episodic to Chronic Migraine Episodic migraine precedes chronic migraine Chronic migraine can be considered a complication of episodic migraine

23 Chronic Migraine Risk Factors Modifiable Attack frequency Obesity Snoring/obstructive sleep apnea Stressful life events Medication overuse Caffeine overuse Not modifiable Age Female gender Low education or socioeconomic status Genetic factors Head injury Ashina S, et al.

31 Chronic Migraine CM is not just “more” episodic migraine Greater severity of headache and associated symptoms Greater impact and healthcare cost It can be reversed Delayed diagnosis and management may result in end organ damage Buse DC, et al.

35 Migraine “Plus” As migraine chronifies it becomes More debilitating Associated with greater comorbidity More difficult to manage Possible for end-organ damage It becomes Migraine “Plus” Welch KMA, et al.

36 How is Staging Useful? Acute and preventive care can be based on stage of migraine Documentation of treatment benefit Assessment of change over time Increase awareness to comorbidities, consultations, and referrals Cady RK, et al. Headache 2004;44:426-435.

37 Establishing the Diagnosis of Chronic Migraine

38 Early Diagnosis The most important tool to prevent chronic migraine is effective control of episodic migraine Early diagnosis Meaningful education Effective acute treatment Regularly scheduled follow-up visits Lipton RB, et al. Managing migraine: A healthcare professional’s guide to collaborative migraine care. Hamilton, Ontario: Baxter Publishing Inc; 2008.

39 Migraine Can and Often Will be a Medical Problem That Last Decades Healthcare interventions span decades Scores of visits to PCP Numerous diagnostic studies Multiple medications Comorbidities It’s best to get it “right” sooner rather than later Diamond ML, et al. Practicing Physician's Approach to Headache. 6 th ed. Phila;PA: WB Saunders;1999:243-255.

40 Patient-centered/HCP-monitored Management of Acute Migraine: Developing, Not Discovering, Patients Collaborative care dynamic 2 experts in the room Why is collaborative care important? Migraine is a chronic disease Treatment needs change and evolve over time Patient will ultimately determine treatment decisions Consequences: Stitch in time saves nine Primary care specialists will be left managing poorly treated patients Lipton RB, et al. Managing migraine: A healthcare professional’s guide to collaborative migraine care. Hamilton, Ontario: Baxter Publishing Inc; 2008.

41 Collaborative Care Model Patient Expertise Self-observation/ HA diary Treatment need Awareness of what works Awareness of lifestyle Awareness of triggers Clinician Expert Knowledge of evidence Knowledge of the disease Effective communication Tools for migraine tool box Pharmacology Lipton RB, et al. Managing migraine: A healthcare professional’s guide to collaborative migraine care. Hamilton, Ontario: Baxter Publishing Inc; 2008.

44 Headache Phenotype: Critical Question to Ask Tell me what you experience when your headache is at its worst Often need to evaluate more than one headache phenotype Migraine can have many different phenotypes 22 PP 2 2

49 Medication Overuse Headache Clinic diagnosis based on escalating or worsening of headache pattern with increasing use of acute treatment medication Generally considered over 3 month period of time

50 Lifestyle Recommendations “Natural” measures of brain restoration Schedule regulation Sleep Meals Exercise Hydration School/work attendance Keep a Diary Eliminate or restrict stimulants Avoid “triggers” I can’t sleep… I have no energy… I just don’t understand why doctors can’t help me "Are you aware of events or other things that put you at risk of having a migraine?"

52 Pre-test ARS Question Evidence-based efficacious acute migraine treatment strategies include all of the following except 1.Oral triptan taken early in the attack 2.DHE (Dihydroergotamine) non-oral delivery 3.Injectable sumatriptan 4.Opioids such as hydrocodone 5.Unsure

53 Management of Chronic Migraine

54 Building a Unique Migraine Tool Box

61 Preventative Medications in Chronic Migraine

62 OnabotulinumtoxinA Only FDA approved intervention Preempt studies: Large placebo controlled (saline injection) studies of subject with CM. Efficacy at 24 weeks minus 8.4 – 9.0 days per month vs. placebo of 6.7 days per month Very low drop out rates (3.8%) and excellent tolerability with only neck pain (9%) and headache (5%) being reported greater than 5% Significant improvement in QOL Dodick DW, et al. Headache 2010;50:921-936. Diener HC, et al. Cephalalgia. 30 804–814.

63 Adverse Reactions Reported by 2% of Patients Treated With BOTOX  (More Frequent Than Placebo) in Two Chronic Migraine Double-Blind, Placebo- Controlled Clinical Trials *Dodick et al 2010 reported n=39 (5.5%);15 of the 39 incidences of muscular weakness were facial paresis. BOTOX ® (onabotulinumtoxinA) Prescribing Information. Allergan, Inc., 2010. Dodick DW et al. Headache. 2010;50:921-936. Severe worsening of migraine requiring hospitalization occurred in approximately 1% of patients treated with BOTOX ® in Study 1 and Study 2, usually within the first week after treatment, compared to 0.3% of placebo-treated patients.

64 Topiramate in Chronic Migraine Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of 306 patients with CM Reduction of HA days Topiramate 5.8 days Placebo 4.7 days Statistically significant improvement in QOL and symptom severity Silberstein S, et al. Headache. 2009,49:1153-1162.

71 Dihydroergotamine Used by headache specialist for chronic or intractable migraine for decades Can be delivered IV, IM, SC, or oral inhalation Anti-emetics often used with IV and IM but not necessarily with oral inhalation Works anytime during attack Low risk for MOH

72 Medication Overuse and Medication Overuse Headache

73 Risks of Acute Medications Triptans MOH Triptan sensations Rare cardiac events Rare serotonin syndrome? Dihydroergotamine Nausea Muscle pain Vasoconstriction Non-Steroidal Medications GI events including bleeding Liver and renal toxicity Rare CV events See Package Insert on specific drugs for complete descriptions of adverse events

74 Therapeutic Hierarchy in Management of CM

75 Management of CM Accurate diagnosis Emphasis of collaborative management Preventive therapy Acute therapy Frequent follow up QOL and reduction in overuse of medical resources

76 Points to Consider Don’t repeat failures Think of synergy Triptan and NSAID DHE and antiemetic Pharmacology Initiate preventives, including behavioral therapies, early Blumenfeld A, et al. Headache. 2012;52:636-647.
