Activity Description

Migraine syndrome with aura is a prevalent headache disorder affecting approximately 12% of the general population, with nearly 25% of cases experiencing localized sensory symptoms or auras. Clinical features vary widely, including visual disturbances, speech difficulties, and limb numbness, requiring careful diagnosis. Migraine with aura carries an increased risk of cerebrovascular accidents, prompting timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

This activity discusses the underlying pathophysiology, and clinicians gain insight into the mechanisms driving migraine attacks, moving beyond outdated theories about cranial blood vessel changes. Moreover, clinicians will learn about evidence-based strategies for managing migraines with aura, including acute treatment and preventative measures. By acquiring this knowledge, healthcare professionals can improve their ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent migraine with aura, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
