Abstract
In this issue of Headache, we publish the Migraine Action Plan (MAP). All patients with migraine should have a MAP. This is a management plan developed by you (the patient's healthcare provider) and is a communication tool between you, your patient, and other healthcare providers. It includes information about home rescue strategies for when your patient's migraines occur, guidelines for when to go to the Emergency Department, and treatment suggestions for Emergency Department providers. The MAP includes treatment options reflected in the American Academy of Neurology Practice Parameters1 and the American Headache Society (AHS) guidelines on acute migraine treatment in the Emergency Department.2 Additionally, we incorporated feedback from headache specialists through two national committees: the AHS Emergency Department, Inpatient and Refractory Special Interest Section and the AHS Academic Headache Program Directors Group.
