- Abstract
Migraine with aura (MwA) is a primary headache that affects up 30% of migraine patients. Although the frequency of MwA attacks is usually low and the majority of migraine sufferers do not need prophylactic treatment(s), same particular patients do. This occurs when the neurological symptoms, that characterize the auras, determine anxiety to the migraine sufferers and when the frequency of MwA attacks is or becomes high. In this study, we review the few therapeutic conventional options specifically devoted to cure MwA attacks present in the literature together with those, recent, non-conventional.
