Question Title

* 5. Which of the following statements is correct regarding patients who present in a primary care practice with complaints of headache?

Migraines and tension-type headaches are approximately equivalent in prevalence

Migraine prevalence is about 15% higher in women than in men

Migraine is the most common headache seen in primary care

Patients with complaints suggesting migraine should be referred to a headache specialist to confirm the diagnosis

Question Title

* 6. Which of the following is a “red flag” that should prompt imaging or laboratory testing to rule out a secondary headache?

Headache onset in adolescence or early adulthood

Systemic symptoms and signs such as fever or unintentional weight loss

Heightened sensitivity to light and/or sound during a headache

Increasing frequency of migraine

Question Title

* 7. Which of the following statements is correct regarding medications for the acute treatment of migraine?

Triptans remain the gold standard largely because of their broad efficacy and lack of medication overuse headache

The cardiovascular contraindications to triptans do not apply to rimegepant, ubrogepant, and lasmiditan

Oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists are indicated both for migraine prophylaxis and acute treatment of migraine

Rimegepant, ubrogepant, and lasmiditan are indicated to treat only migraines without aura

Question Title

* 8. Which of the following statements is correct regarding stratified vs stepped care for acute management of migraine?

Stratified care, in which the patient selects treatment based on severity of and disability associated with a migraine, is more likely to result in medication overuse

In stepped care, treatment is accelerated at specified intervals according to an evidence-based treatment algorithm

There is a limited role for newer medications for the acute treatment of migraine in stratified care

Results of a randomized controlled trial demonstrate that compared with stepped care, stratified care is associated with better treatment response and reduced disability time

Question Title

* 9. Which of the following statements is correct regarding episodic and chronic migraine?

Unsuccessful acute treatment of migraine is associated with progression from episodic to chronic migraine

Patients inevitably advance from episodic to a chronic migraine over time regardless of how their migraines are managed

Chronic migraine refers to a pattern in which patients experience migraine on a daily basis for 4 or more consecutive days at least once per month

Chronic migraine is more common in men while episodic migraine is more common in women
