Migraine is a complex neurological disorder that is characterized by a complex neurobiology, clinical features that may overlap with over 300 causes of headache, and an association with major medical illnesses and comorbid diseases. This books draws upon the authors' vast clinical experience and exhaustive knowledge of the science of migraine and the practice of headache medicine and provides this knowledge in a comprehensive yet digestible format. While migraine is
often a subject in other textbooks on headache, it is the sole focus of this volume. The authors provide an up-to-date overview of the evidence base and combine this with their experience and
expertise to help practitioners make informed treatment decisions. This book also provides a glimpse into the future describing new treatment modalities, including neurostimulation technologies and biologics that are emerging as potentially valuable treatment options. The authors also deal extensively with the unique and complex management of migraine in women throughout the reproductive life cycle. For those looking for a practical, insightful, and in-depth review on the subject of migraine,
there is no other option.

"This is the most up to date text on all things related to migraine
authored by 2 of the most renowned experts in the field. The
authors review all aspects of migraine from pathophysiology,
diagnosis to new treatment modalities and supply a plethora of
references. The genetics section is one of the most comprehensive
reviews I've seen. If you treat patients with migraine this book
needs to be in your library." --Lawrence Newman, MD, Professor of
Neurology

Sinai-Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, NY
"Drs David Dodick and Stephen Silberstein, two of the giants in
Headache Medicine, have provided a definitive and bravura textbook
of Migraine. This text, brilliantly readable and impeccably
referenced with close to 2,000 references, will be the standard
reference for care providers at any level and in any practice
setting for every fact, classification, nuance, and advice on every
aspect of migraine, including subtypes, comorbidity,
pathophysiology, treatment,
hormonal issues, and even neuromodulation." --Stewart J. Tepper,
MD, FAHS, Professor of Medicine (Neurology), Cleveland Clinic
Lerner College of Medicine, Cleveland, OH
"In recent years, Migraine, one of the most common disorders for
which patients seek medical care, has experienced increases in our
understanding and treatment. Thus, a fresh authoritative Migraine
text, edited by two of the world's most recognized migraine thought
leaders, Drs David Dodick and Steve Silberstein, along with a group
of leading experts, is most welcomed. Not only are the standard
diagnosis and drug treatment chapters excellently discussed,
but less frequently covered topics such as genetics,
non-pharmacological treatment, and neuro-modulation are included.
This book will be of value to a broad spectrum of physicians
including trainees,
generalists who see headache patients, and even experts in the
field. I strongly recommend it." --Robert B. Daroff, M.D.,
Professor and Chair Emeritus, Department of Neurology, Case Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, OH; and Past-President, American
Headache Society
"[A]n excellent read not only for neurologists, but all clinicians
that may come in contact with migraine sufferers. It may serve as a
useful introduction, one can return to time and time again, when
looking for further understanding of the condition, making it an
excellent resource for trainees, as well as experienced clinicians
in the field." -The Australian Pain Society Newsletter
"I see this volume as a very successful effort by the two authors.
This must have encompassed hours of work and review to produce this
comprehensive book and they are to be congratulated for doing this
for our field. I would highly recommend it for anyone seeing
migraine patients and those in research in migraine."- R. Allan
Purdy, MD 2017 American Headache Society
