Abstract.
Migraine with aura (MwA) is a primary headache that affects about 30% of migraine sufferers. The main questions for the physician caring for the patient who has MwA are: when to use preventive medications, what medications to use in acute and preventive treatment, and whether the aura should be treated. The aim of this paper is to review the various therapeutic options for MwA proposed in the current literature and to evaluate their efficacy.
