Understanding Migraine and Other Headaches by Stewart J. Tepper, MD
Reviewed by Ashley Riffee, Community Health Education Center Intern
Understanding Migraine and Other Headaches presents information about headaches, especially, migraines. The book defines what a migraine is and how it differs from other types of headaches like tension or cluster headaches. Who gets migraines, the role of hormones, and what causes them are also addressed. Once a migraine has been diagnosed and evaluated, treatment can be prescribed. Finally, preventing migraines and ways to avoid them are also discussed.
Because migraines are better understood, diagnosis more accurate, and medication more sophisticated, treatment of migraines can be effective.
Research about migraines is ongoing. As more is understood about migraines, potential new treatments can be developed. For people who suffer from migraines, the book includes sources for further information and support.
